Safeguarding & Online Safety

Keeping children safe is central to PawSteps.

Our approach

• Accounts are created and managed by adults; children use the activities under a grown-up's care.
• We do not include open chat, direct messaging between users, or the sharing of children's photos or full names in our activities.
• Our community space for parents (The Den) is peer support for adults, is moderated, and blocks the sharing of personal details.
• Content is written to be age-appropriate, kind and inclusive.

If you have a concern

If anything on PawSteps worries you, email ciera.rose@icloud.com. If a child is at immediate risk, contact the police on 999, or the NSPCC on 0808 800 5000.
