Safeguarding

Design choices: no public child profiles, no unrestricted child-to-child chat, no external sharing by default, parent controls for AI, writing visibility and celebrations.

If a child describes harm or feeling unsafe, Lexi is instructed to stop probing, encourage speaking to a trusted adult, and avoid collecting extra detail. That is not a replacement for professional help. In the UK, the NSPCC helpline is 0808 800 5000.

AI feedback complements, rather than replaces, adult support and school guidance.
