🧒 Child Safety Principles

• All activities follow a “safety-first” approach: physical, emotional and digital.
• Mentor-to-child ratio 1 : 3 (in addition to the two designated hosts).
• Hosts must ensure the venue is secure, age-appropriate, and meets local fire-safety and accessibility regulations.
• Children work on per-team devices only; no device sharing to reduce risk of data or account crossover.
• Only pre-approved websites, platforms (Lovable, ROSEBUD AI) and Wi-Fi networks may be used.

🎥 Filming & Photography

1. Consent First
   • The parent/guardian of each child must hand over a signed media-consent form before any filming or photography.
   • Forms are collected at check-in and stored securely for five years (digital or physical).
2. Allowed Content
   • Focus images on projects, hands and screens where possible.
   • If a face is shown, confirm consent checkbox on the participant list.
3. Restricted Content
   • No live-streaming identifiable children without an additional, explicit, written approval.
   • No recording in restrooms, quiet rooms, or any designated private spaces.
4. Storage & Deletion
   • Raw media stored on encrypted drives; delete unapproved footage within 30 days.
5. Use on Social Media
   • Only share media that complies with consent.
   • Always include the event hashtag #kidshackathon and avoid tagging a child’s personal account.

📱 Social Media Policy (Hosts & Mentors)

• Keep tone supportive and age-appropriate.
• Do not disclose personal data (full name, school, address).
• Remove any post immediately if a parent/guardian withdraws consent.
