Educating kids about e-safety is one of the best ways parents, carers and teachers can protect them from predators and scammers online. CAP Certified aims to provide an extra level of security by stopping predators and scammers from being able to reach children in the first place – creating a space online as safe as a school playground or walled garden.
Our child authentication and protection platform uses data from local authorities to verify each child as a real person – if a predator tries to create a fake profile, they won’t be verified and won’t be able to talk to the real child.
