As technology companies navigate increasingly complex questions around youth trust and safety, and age-appropriate product design, one thing is becoming clear: solutions for young people are stronger when young people help shape them.
That's why In Tandem is partnering with Vys, a youth safety product advisory firm that helps organizations design digital experiences for kids and teens that are innovative, age-appropriate, and built to last. The Vys network of youth safety advisors works with companies to evaluate products against youth safety standards, identify risks before launch, and develop safer digital experiences grounded in research and real-world practice. Vys's work spans age assurance, age-aware product design, and platform policy, and draws on published research and active standards engagements in the field.
Together, we're creating opportunities for young people to directly inform how emerging technologies are tested and improved.
Vys' work sits at the intersection of product, policy, and youth safety, helping organizations build digital experiences that better serve children and teens.
We're excited to contribute what In Tandem does best: creating meaningful opportunities for young people with a diversity of perspectives to influence the technologies and policies that affect their lives.
When youth are treated as partners, not just end users, they bring perspectives that strengthen products, inform better decisions, and help build safer, more effective digital experiences for everyone.
We look forward to working with Vys and our Youth Partners to demonstrate the value of youth voice in technology development.
