Community Standards

Draft for review · Last updated August 2026. This document describes how Aurelia is designed to work. It is a working draft and should be reviewed by qualified legal counsel before public launch.

What is welcome

• Original creative work — stories, art, film, podcasts, games, inventions and more — made and shared with pride.
• Constructive, kind feedback that helps a young creator improve.
• Honest effort and genuine authorship, including work made with clearly labelled AI assistance.
• Curiosity, ambition and experimentation, even when the result is unfinished or imperfect.

What is never allowed

• Content that is unlawful, sexually explicit, or that exploits, endangers or sexualises a child in any way.
• Bullying, harassment, hateful or discriminatory conduct directed at any member.
• Attempts to contact a child outside the channels a guardian has approved, or to bypass age-separation controls.
• Passing off someone else's work as one's own, or presenting AI-generated work as entirely unassisted.
• Sharing another member's personal information without their and, where relevant, their guardian's consent.

How work is reviewed

Work that a guardian approves for wider sharing, and submissions to challenges or clubs, pass through a review step before they become visible beyond the family. Automated checks help flag potential issues, but decisions about what is published rest with trained staff. Members can report content or conduct at any time, which triggers the same review process described in our safeguarding and reporting approach.

How decisions are made and appealed

Where content is removed, or an account is restricted, we aim to explain the reason to the guardian responsible for that account. If a guardian believes a decision was made in error, they can raise this through our contact page for a further, human review. Decisions relating to an active safeguarding concern may be handled with additional care and confidentiality.

Standards for adults in the community

Parents, teachers, school administrators, education group administrators and 16+ alumni all interact with the platform under the same underlying respect and safety principles, adapted to their role. Adults must never use their access to contact a child outside approved channels, must respect the boundaries between the under-16 and 16+ environments, and are expected to model the constructive, encouraging feedback culture Aurelia is built around. Teachers and administrators additionally carry a responsibility to verify achievements honestly and to raise safeguarding concerns promptly.
