FAQ
What is Voop?
Voop is Therapeutic Digital Safeguarding for looked-after children. With Voop, children are safer, go missing less, and feel more independent. Placements are more stable, and care outcomes improve.
How does Voop work?
Each child gets a Voop phone: a modern Android smartphone with protections built in. Carers then manage every child's phone remotely from the Voop app, agreeing protections with each child, turning on Bedtime, and getting alerts if something's wrong. Any carer on the team can do this, from anywhere, on any shift.
What is Therapeutic Digital Safeguarding?
Therapeutic Digital Safeguarding is Voop’s approach to keeping children in care safe online without surveillance, and without putting carers in conflict with them. Protections are agreed with each child and their care team, children can see their settings on their own phone, and Voop never reads their messages or records their calls. It’s safeguarding built on trust: in workshops before launch, all but one of 19 children in care agreed they would be happy to use a Voop phone (Kids Industries, 2025).
How does Voop help with missing incidents?
Voop helps carers step in early and find a missing child faster. If a child chooses to share their location, carers can get an alert when they leave a safe place. Carers also get an alert when a blocked caller tries to get in touch. If a child is reported missing, one tap switches on temporary location sharing, alerts everyone on the team, and lets the child know you want them to get in touch. The child can see when location sharing is on.
How does Voop make homes calmer?
With Bedtime, phones automatically reduce distractions, so carers never have to confiscate them. That removes a common source of daily carer-child conflict, and everyone sleeps better.
Will Voop work across our teams and shifts?
Yes. Voop is built for care teams, not families. Any carer on the team can manage a child's phone remotely, so children get the same protections from every carer, on every shift. Every change is recorded in a shared audit log.
Do young people like Voop?
Yes. Voop was co-designed in the UK with young people at Compass Community, who now use it. Before launch, the children’s research agency Kids Industries ran workshops for Voop with 19 children in foster and residential care, aged 8 to 16. All but one agreed they would be happy to use a Voop phone. Older children worried about losing their independence, so location sharing is the child’s choice unless they’re reported missing. (Kids Industries, Voop Research Debrief, August 2025) Young people using Voop now say much the same. In a July 2026 survey completed with staff, 3 of the 4 young people in children’s homes who answered said the adult controls on their phone were fair, and all 4 rated their phone 8 out of 10 or higher.
