Roblox Establishes Inaugural Parent Council to Foster Safer Online Environment

Roblox has introduced its inaugural Parent Council, led by Dr. Elizabeth Milovidov, the company's newly appointed head of parental advocacy. This initiative will assemble a diverse group of up to 40 parents and caregivers from the UK, US, Europe, Canada, and Mexico to contribute to the development of safe, responsible, and creative technology use. The council will collaborate with Roblox's internal teams to provide real-world insights on platform features, policies, and resources, ensuring a wide range of perspectives and increased community representation. By integrating parent feedback into product and policy development, Roblox aims to create more effective long-term safety and wellbeing initiatives. According to Milovidov, the goal is for Roblox to become the internet's safest and most civil platform. To achieve this, the company will work directly with parents and caregivers to understand their needs, enhance safety measures, and promote an environment that encourages creativity, learning, and meaningful connections. Interested parents and caregivers can apply to join the council through the official website. The establishment of the Parent Council follows the appointment of the company's first head of parental advocacy in May, a role designed to support families in navigating digital safety and online wellbeing. Roblox's primary focus has been to ensure the safety and civility of its users, as evident in its recently introduced parental controls.
