# Youth safety and access

This minimum framework does not replace applicable law, school policy, safeguarding professionals, insurance, or qualified counsel.

Before serving anyone under 18, document the responsible organization and safeguarding lead; ages and supervision; background-check, emergency, and reporting duties; guardian consent and participant assent where required; separate permissions for participation, recording, publication, likeness, portfolio, and reuse; data minimization and incident response; transportation and messaging rules; accessibility without unnecessary diagnosis demands; equipment safety and insurance; ownership, credit, compensation, and commercial status; and a no-retaliation withdrawal process.

Never require broad future rights as a condition of education. Never use private disclosures, biometric data, voice, likeness, or work for AI training without specific lawful authority and informed permission.
