No child accounts
Profiles exclude child names, photos, schools, dates of birth, diagnoses, precise addresses and public biographies.
Safety approach
Useful boundaries, plainly explained.
Kindred keeps children out of the account and messaging system. Adults use interest profiles, broad locations and mutual consent to explore introductions.
Choose together
Mutual consent
An adult can accept or decline a request. Adult-to-adult messaging opens only after both sides accept.
Stay in control
Report and block
Controls remain available beside a conversation, with reports routed to an actionable moderator queue.
When arranging an introduction
Keep the first steps public and adult-led.
- Use a public place and keep the responsible adults present.
- Do not share children’s identifying details in chat.
- Move slowly when behaviour or a request feels unusual.
- Use block and report controls; contact emergency services for immediate danger.
