Safeguarding

Orli helps children notice and settle everyday feelings in class. It isn’t therapy and doesn’t diagnose; it sits alongside your specialist support and safeguarding.

How sessions keep children safe

Every activity gives children more than one way to take part, and their own pages can stay private.

  • Join in, watch or pass

    Children can always join in, watch or pass. Nobody has to share a story or say how they feel.

  • Private pages stay private

    Children draw in their own scrapbook or on paper, and their page can stay private. Examples shared on the board are made up, with no names.

  • Breathing and moving are optional

    Nobody has to hold their breath, close their eyes or keep up with the screen, and anyone can stop if it feels uncomfortable.

  • Help means a trusted grown-up

    When something worries a child, activities point them to a trusted grown-up and your school’s safeguarding process.

    In the pupil check-in we’re building, Help pauses play, points to a trusted grown-up and sends no message.

The class board: Finn by a moonlit lake, saying “Even when I’m feeling a lot underneath.” There are no controls or notes on it.
The teacher’s session console for Meet Finn: the steps on the left, a preview of the class board in the middle, Finn’s lines and a box for private session notes on the right.
Children see the story on the class board. Your script, timer and private notes stay on your laptop.

If a child shares something worrying

Orli doesn’t change who you tell or how. Your school’s procedures come first.

  1. Follow your school’s safeguarding policy and talk to your DSL.
  2. If a child is in immediate danger, follow your school’s emergency procedures and call 999.
  3. Keep any record in your school’s own safeguarding system, not in Orli’s session notes.
