Is Clubhouse safe for your child?
Age guide
18+
We advise Clubhouse from age 18 and up. Overall risk 6/10 (medium risk).
- 5-8
- Clubhouse is not suitable for this age group due to its audio-only format requiring active listening and participation in discussions, often on complex topics.
- 9-12
- Clubhouse is not suitable for this age group; its format involves live, unmoderated audio conversations that can cover mature themes and require significant critical thinking.
- 13-15
- Clubhouse is rated 18+ and is generally not recommended for this age group, as it involves live audio discussions where content can be unpredictable and moderation is user-dependent.
- 16+
- Teens at this age may encounter rooms with discussions on mature or sensitive topics, and the live audio format means content is not easily filtered or reviewed before consumption.
Clubhouse is an audio-only social networking app where users can join or create 'rooms' to listen to or participate in live conversations. It focuses on real-time, spoken interaction rather than text or visuals.
