Offer more than one route
Provide alternatives for reading, listening, movement, speaking, observing, and taking a break. Do not make public disclosure the price of participation.
Access from the start
Participation needs more than an invitation.
Harborline asks adults to consider format, pace, language, mobility, sensory load, privacy, consent, and the ability to decline before a learning activity begins.
Protect the right to decline
Consent is specific, voluntary, understandable, and reversible. Agreement to one activity does not authorize photography, storytelling, referral, or future contact.
Keep the app out of case work
No names, health details, child records, incidents, attendance, location, images, audio, or free-text beneficiary notes belong in Harborline.
Youth and families
Adult-facilitated, never child-profiled.
The app is not designed for children to use independently. It has no chat, public profile, location sharing, attendance, follower system, targeted advertising, or unrestricted adult-minor communication.
Authorized adults remain responsible
Any youth adaptation requires applicable organizational safeguarding procedures, guardian requirements, age-appropriate assent, supervised participation, and a way to stop without penalty.
No app shortcut to safeguarding
A checklist cannot screen a volunteer, approve a venue, replace reporting procedures, or decide whether an activity is suitable for a particular young person.
