THE ROPES

STOP FIRST.
CHECK WITH
THE RIGHT PERSON.

Corner & Bell supports cautious conversations. It cannot inspect a venue, diagnose injury, certify equipment, supervise a participant, or call for help.

YOUTH AND SAFEGUARDING

Observable, voluntary, adult-accountable.

The app includes youth-sport context but offers no child profile, direct messaging, stranger contact, public post, donation, purchase, location, attendance, or one-to-one communication. Real-world use must follow the organisation's safeguarding policy and applicable law.

A preset card is never proof of consent. Adults must listen, check understanding, and respect a change of mind.

111

NEW ZEALAND EMERGENCY NUMBER

The app cannot call or monitor emergencies.

For immediate danger or a medical emergency in New Zealand, call 111 and follow venue procedures. The ACC 3Rs card is general education, not concussion diagnosis or treatment.
