A practical framework for schools, families, and mentors.

For schools

Use the six stories as short service-learning units. Each page can support a class discussion, research task, reflection essay, or project-planning workshop. Publish your own safeguarding rules. Do not outsource duty of care to a website.

School page

For families

Help students turn concern into a concrete action: donate an item, join an auction committee, review a story, or help document a service activity. Ask who supervises, who asked for the work, and how images will be used.

Family page

For mentors

Guide students through verification, respectful language, budget planning, image use, and post-project reporting. Stop plans that require untrained minors in clinical or disaster-rescue roles. Red-team the story they want to tell about themselves.

For community partners

Offer a clear brief: the need, the expected student role, safety boundaries, and how completed work should be reported. A good partner can say no to free labour that creates extra work for staff.
