Talkyds - Chat App For Kids Details
Talkyds for iOS & Android is a safe chat app for kids aged 7 to 11 years old.Designed ground-up for parents concerned with protecting their children's online safety, whilst giving kids the freedom to adopt new technology and communicate in a controlled but safe environment.After installing the app, parents are required to set-up an account (providing Government ID) before creating their child's account. Once kids have an account, they can ONLY connect to family members/friends whose accounts have also be set up by their parents. Parents have 100% control in terms of accepting/rejecting friend requests and also the ability to monitor conversations for misuse (inappropriate language, bullying etc).Problem Being Addressed:Increasingly, children are adopting the use of tablets and smartphones at a very early age. By the time they reach 6 or 7 years old, many are already tech-savvy and are starting to use their devices as a means to communicate with family (immediate family, cousins etc) as well as friends.The mainstream social networking and messaging options available today are not designed for this age group (7-11 year olds) and there are significant dangers and concerns associated with inappropriate language, cyber bullying, sexting and paedophilia).There is a lot of research and information widely available about the risks to children's online safety:SafeKids.com (Digital citizenship, online safety & civility)http://www.safekids.com/Childlinehttps://www.childline.org.uk/info-advice/bullying-abuse-safety/online-mobile-safety/UK Council for Child Internet Safety (UKCCIS)https://www.gov.uk/government/groups/uk-council-for-child-internet-safety-ukccisNational Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children (NSPCC) https://www.nspcc.org.uk/preventing-abuse/keeping-children-safe/online-safety/UK Safer Internet Centrehttps://www.saferinternet.org.uk/
