Moderation and safeguarding cover
Four layers, one continuous safety net
AI speed, human judgment, safeguarding depth, and transparent reporting work together. Students also get in-app safety tools: trigger warnings, hide, block, snooze, and content filters.
Human-led moderation, AI-assisted
Our Trust & Safety team reviews all content, supported by some of the leading frontier models. AI assists across trust and safety to support human-in-the-loop moderation and prioritisation. AI assists with identifying potentially harmful content, while our human Trust & Safety team retains decision authority across all content.
Professional Trust & Safety
Trained moderators review every flagged item with human-in-the-loop oversight. The team is trained in coded language recognition, behavioural analysis, and community guidelines enforcement, including phased banning and a fair appeals process.
Safeguarding escalation (I-CARE)
Our I-CARE framework (Identify, Classify, Assess, Respond, Escalate) connects at-risk students to safeguarding specialists quickly. Every case is logged in our case management system with a full audit trail.
Incident Reporting and Bespoke Protocols
When required, a detailed incident report reaches your college/university through your bespoke escalation protocol, typically within five minutes by phone and email, aligned with your duty-of-care workflows.
Colour-coded review you can explain to any committee
Moderators see risk at a glance: safe peer content, items under human review, urgent safeguarding escalations, and resolved outcomes. Every action is preserved for audit and institutional reporting.

Moderation and safety FAQs
What procurement, safeguarding, and IT teams ask before rolling out a moderated peer support platform.
Our Trust & Safety team reviews all content 24/7, supported by multi-model AI that assists with identifying potentially harmful content. Human reviewers aim to assess posts in under one minute. Safeguarding specialists can engage in under two minutes when the I-CARE pathway activates. Students are never outside monitored coverage.
Humans review all content, supported by a multi-vendor AI architecture with models from OpenAI, Amazon, and Google operating in parallel. This redundancy improves coverage and reduces over-reliance on any single provider. AI assists with identifying potentially harmful content; humans retain judgment on all decisions.
Trust & Safety staff receive dedicated training in coded language, euphemisms, and behavioural patterns that simple keyword filters miss. AI surfaces anomalies and flags content for review; moderators interpret context, thread history, and user behaviour before taking action. Peer+ volunteers (3,000+ trained) operate under the same governance and escalation rules.
Content may be removed, restricted, or escalated depending on severity. Users can hide, block, snooze, apply content filters, and use trigger warnings. Serious risk triggers I-CARE: professional outreach, safety planning, and, when appropriate, documented reporting to the institution within minutes. Repeat violations follow phased enforcement with appeals.
