How It Works

From pledge to protection in three steps

01

Movements define

Organizations from the AAP and WHO to grassroots movements like Wait Until 8th define standards — packaged rule sets based on their values and research.

02

Families adopt

One click to adopt a community standard. Rules generate automatically based on the standard definition and your child's age.

03

Phosra enforces

Standards push to every connected platform. Families earn verified badges. Pledges become real, enforceable protection.

Want to define your own standard?

If you represent a child safety organization or school, you can define a community standard that families adopt and Phosra enforces across every platform.
