Fieldquests community safety
Safety Approach
Updated October 22, 2026
Layered Safety
Fieldquests uses multiple safeguards rather than relying on one badge or check. These include adult-only accounts, teacher profile review, background-screening status, clear class details, private addresses, participant messaging, attendance records, community rules, and a way to report concerns. No screening or marketplace can eliminate all risk.
Teacher Review
A teacher can build and privately preview a profile while review is pending, but the profile is not publicly available and classes cannot be published until required approval and background-screening status are current. Teacher profile photos publish automatically when uploaded and may be removed if they violate Fieldquests policies. Credentials are self-reported unless expressly marked verified. Screening results are point-in-time information and are not a guarantee.
Child and Family Privacy
Children do not have sign-in accounts or direct message access. Guardian-managed profiles provide only the information needed to match and safely conduct a class. Birthdates stay private, sensitive notes are restricted, and private class addresses are revealed only to the relevant adult after a confirmed, paid booking.
Class Information and Communication
Listings should clearly state the instructor, age range, schedule, capacity, general area, materials, what to bring, and supervision expectations. Fieldquests messages keep class communication between adults and tied to the relevant class. Families should confirm drop-off, pickup, accessibility, allergy, and emergency expectations before attendance.
Adult Conduct
All adults must follow the Adult Code of Conduct, including appropriate boundaries, visible supervision, guardian-controlled communication, photo consent, privacy, and safe pickup practices. Families and group leaders remain responsible for choosing classes appropriate for their learners and reviewing the information available to them.
Marketplace and Onsite Roles
Fieldquests provides marketplace and coordination tools but does not operate, staff, or continuously monitor independently offered classes. The approved teacher named on the listing is responsible for class delivery, venue conditions, equipment, supervision, and emergency planning. Assistants and substitutes may not teach or provide the teacher’s promised supervision. Parents, guardians, and group leaders remain responsible for evaluating whether a class and its arrangements are appropriate for their learners.
Report a Concern
Use the Support page to report inappropriate messages, unsafe behavior, privacy concerns, inaccurate listings, suspected fraud, or possible policy violations. Include the class, date, people involved, and relevant messages without emailing unnecessary medical, identity, or payment information. Fieldquests may pause activity while a report is reviewed.
Emergencies and Suspected Abuse
Fieldquests support is not an emergency service. For immediate danger, call 911. For suspected child abuse or neglect, contact the appropriate local child-protection or law-enforcement authority as required, then notify Fieldquests so platform access and records can be addressed.
Continuous Review
Fieldquests uses NCSI for its current teacher background-screening process. Screening standards, incident-response procedures, reporting escalation, staff access controls, retention practices, and these safety policies are reviewed as the marketplace and applicable requirements change.
