Voop is the safeguarding infrastructure for children and young people in care.
Voop works on a regular phone, with a child-facing app that works like any other network provider’s. For a child in care, a phone that looks and feels like everyone else's means they don’t feel different every time they open it.
We don’t spy on children by reading their messages, recording what they do on their smartphone or by breaking end to end encryption. We believe in being transparent with children, and we are not trying to do anything behind their backs. We provide a child-facing user interface that answers "what can my guardian see”. A flat, honest list of categories, explaining why. If something is blocked or restricted, we explain why, not lead them to a dead end.
Critical support for caregivers.
Tamper-proof by design
Young people know how to remove parental controls. Voop's protections can't be bypassed by deleting an app, factory resetting or switching SIMs.
Tackle missings, reduce risk
Voop is the most robust method of reducing recovery time in a missing case and making it possible to intervene before a child goes missing.
Combat child exploitation
Voop helps safeguarding professionals understand a child's digital world in real time, and act fast against bad actors.
Rights-preserving and transparent
Children see their own restrictions. Every change is logged by caregivers, providing a full audit trail.
Voop is safe by design, compliant with SOC2 & Cyber Essentials and there is no need for Deprivation of Liberty orders (DoLS) whilst securing children’s rights and privacy.
