Check the AI before it checks out your child.
FamilyAI Check is a calm directory for UK and EU parents of children roughly 6–16. We look at age rules, parental controls, and privacy notes framed for the UK Children’s Code / GDPR — then give an honest pass, caution, avoid, or adults only (18+). If we do not know something, we say unknown and lean caution.

What we will not do
- Invent safety certifications, visitor counts, or fake reviews.
- Sell “safety scores” to the highest bidder.
- Pretend unknown facts are known — we mark gaps and lean caution.
