Tap Out – Youth Safety & Exploitation Awareness Mobile App

Developed with Luton Borough Council

Tap Out – Youth Safety & Exploitation Awareness Mobile App
Developed in partnership with Luton Youth Partnership Targeted Youth Service

We designed and built Tap Out as a standalone mobile app to support early prevention of youth exploitation. The app presents scenarios where young people explore choices and consequences in a safe space. It was fully developed end-to-end: user research, wireframing, UX/UI design, build, testing and deployment on both app stores. The app is used in workshops, outreach and school settings alongside in-person engagement.
