Use together
Youth use requires a parent, guardian, or authorized facilitator. An adult controls equipment, space, workload, emergency response, and organization procedures.
Family and youth boundaries
Adults hold the edges of the field.
Diamond Signal supports shared conversation. It does not create a child account, public profile, private chat, or direct adult-minor channel.
Keep interactions visible
Adult-minor interactions should follow applicable policy and remain observable and interruptible; electronic communication should remain open and transparent.
No private youth record
The app does not collect names, ages, photographs, precise location, health notes, incidents, attendance, scores, performance, or eligibility.
Participation without pressure
No streaks, ranking, leaderboards, public comparison, forced disclosure, or reward for app time.
Offer meaningful options
Adults can offer adapted roles or seated versions without diagnosing, labeling, or guessing ability from appearance.
Use authorized channels
Safeguarding concerns, incidents, and emergencies belong in the organization’s authorized or emergency process, never in this app.
