If your child says something worrying
If a child may be in danger right now, call your local emergency number.
Children can always turn to a parent or another grown-up they trust. If you think a child is being harmed, contact the child protection service or the police where you live.
If your child says something in class that suggests they may be hurt, in danger or bullied, whatever words they use, the AI teacher answers with the same kind words every time:
“Thank you for telling me. That's really important. Please tell your mom or dad, or another grown-up you trust who's near you. If you're in danger right now, go to a grown-up near you straight away and ask for help.”
The screen then reminds them to go to a parent or another grown-up they trust, and the teacher flags the moment for our team. Nobody listens to classes live: a person on our team reads what was said around that moment and decides what to do, and we may contact you. If we believe a child may need protection, BC law requires us to report it to child protection services.
Safety and privacy says what the teacher won't do, what we keep and for how long.
If your child tells you something worrying about a class, or you're worried about one, write to us and choose Safety concern. If a child may be in danger right now, call your local emergency number.
