Poodle Talk – Safety & Use Policy

Poodle Talk is a gentle, child-friendly chat experience created to support children in expressing their feelings in a calm and reassuring way.

Our poodle characters are designed to respond with kindness, warmth, and simplicity — helping children feel heard, comforted, and supported.

A Gentle Support Tool

Poodle Talk is not a replacement for a parent, teacher, or qualified professional.

The responses provided are designed to offer general reassurance and encouragement only. They do not provide medical, psychological, or professional advice.

If a child is feeling worried, upset, or overwhelmed, we strongly encourage them to speak to a trusted adult such as a parent, teacher, or caregiver.

Safety First

If a child expresses distress, feeling unsafe, or mentions harm to themselves or others, Poodle Talk is designed to gently guide them towards seeking help from a trusted adult.

If you believe a child may be at risk, please contact appropriate local support services immediately.
