Community Guidelines & Safety Advice

FreeSchoolClothes.com is a voluntary community initiative. We provide a platform for families to share school clothes and other items locally. Users must follow the Terms & Conditions and Privacy Policy when using the platform.

Our Principles

• Be respectful and kind
• Share items honestly and describe them clearly
• Arrange collections responsibly
• Protect your personal information
• Put safety first at all times

Practical Safety Advice

1. Keep Communication on the Platform

Use the built-in messaging system and avoid sharing unnecessary personal information such as financial details, ID copies, or personal documents.

2. Arrange Safe Collection Points

• Choose public locations when possible (school gates, community centres, well-lit areas).
• Consider doorstep collections if meeting at homes.
• Do not invite strangers inside your home.
• Inform household members of expected visitors.
• If you feel uncomfortable at any time, do not proceed.

3. Be Clear About Arrangements

Agree on collection time, location, and items beforehand. Do not feel pressured to change plans last-minute.

4. No Payments

FreeSchoolClothes.com is for free sharing only. Do not send or request money through the platform.

5. Trust Your Instincts

You are never obliged to complete an exchange if something feels wrong.

6. Report Concerns

Contact support@freeschoolclothes.com for inappropriate behaviour, harassment, payment requests, or unsafe arrangements. For urgent safeguarding concerns, contact local schools, authorities, or law enforcement.
