Child Safety and Security

Children Under 13

If you are 13 or younger, please register and attend classes with parental supervision. Instead of opening an account yourself, ask a parent or guardian to create an account in your name and participate in lessons together until you are old enough to have your own account.

Children Aged 13 and Over

At Sculin, we believe that exchanging ideas is a great way to learn, so we encourage learning through conversation.

As with any online environment where you may interact with others, it's important to stay safe and be aware of potential dangers, especially if you are under 18.

Before you start communicating with anyone, consider your online presence. It's advisable to review the privacy settings on any social media profiles you have and ensure you're comfortable with the information you're sharing. What happens if you search for your own name? Are you surprised by any of the results?

·       Here are some top privacy tips for young students:

·       Use only the initial of your last name on your profile, so you appear to others as “First Name L” rather than “First Name Last Name.”

·       Avoid using your own photo as your profile picture.

·       Share direct contact information (like email address, phone number, or Instagram username) only with users you trust—educators will never ask you for this information.

·       You don't need to share your exact location in comments or on your profile—it's sufficient to enter your country and/or current city.

·       Be cautious not to reveal other personal information about yourself or people you know, such as the names of family members, teachers, and friends.

·       Assist us by reporting anything you think may be unsafe.

·       Sculin moderators may hide comments containing personal details after you notify them or remove them entirely if deemed necessary.
