Safeguarding Policy
Last updated: February 2026
The Korp Academy is committed to providing a safe, respectful and creative online environment.
Most members are adults. However, some areas of the platform may be accessed by members under 18 with parental supervision. This policy explains how safeguarding is managed across all areas of the platform.
1. Age Structure of The Korp Academy
The Korp Academy consists of:
- The main Korp Academy membership (PG-rated content)
- The 8 O’Clock Club (strictly 18+)
These areas are treated differently in terms of safeguarding.
2. The Main Korp Academy (PG-Rated)
The main Korp Academy membership is designed to be broadly appropriate for a general audience.
- Content may include:
- Stylised monsters and zombies
- Playful or surreal themes
Creative drawing exercises
Explicit adult content is not permitted within the main Korp Academy.
Members under 18 may access the main Korp Academy only with the knowledge and supervision of a parent or legal guardian.
Parents and guardians are fully responsible for monitoring their child’s use of the platform.
3. The 8 O’Clock Club (18+ Only)
The 8 O’Clock Club is strictly for adults aged 18 and over.
This section includes drawing sessions that may explore:
- Horror and gore
- Drug and alcohol themes
- Explicit adult content
- Drawings of male and female genitalia
- Other mature subject matter
Due to the nature of this content, under-18s are not permitted to access or participate in the 8 O’Clock Club under any circumstances.
By joining the 8 O’Clock Club, members confirm they are aged 18 or over.
Access may be removed immediately if age requirements are breached.
4. Parental Responsibility (Under-18 Members)
Where a member is under 18 in the main Korp Academy:
Parents/guardians must:
- Supervise platform use
- Monitor direct messages
- Monitor video call features
- Decide whether their child appears on camera during live sessions

Any behaviour that compromises the safety of others may result in immediate removal without refund.

9. Our Limitations
