  2. Our role in reviewing reports of harmful content

From 1st April 2025, Report Harmful Content will be operating on a limited basis due to the end of our external funding. Our website will remain active with up-to-date advice, our capacity to take reports will be significantly limited and prioritised on a case-by-case basis.   

We will continue to review reports of harmful content on the platforms we work with through our direct trusted flagger escalation routes. Our practitioners review the content against platform guidelines, if the harmful content in your report is found to violate the platforms community guidelines, we will escalate this report to the platform.   

To be able to review your report as quickly as possible, please ensure you provide us with as much detail as you can about the report, provide a direct link to the specific content you reported, and the full response you received from the platform for your initial report. Without this information, we may not be able to act on your report. 

Please note: we will review all reports, but we will not necessarily respond to you directly.
