How do I add a child (under 13) to a family group?

This article shows users how to invite a child (under 13) to Be Collective through their family group.

To add a child (under 13) to Be Collective, you first need to create a family group. This allows you as a parent or guardian – and any other parents or guardians who join the family group – to oversee the activity of all under 13s within that group.

If you haven't created a family group yet, please begin with the Help Centre article linked below:
