Risk assessment of moderators
Moderators of sites designed for children and sites which are aimed at or very likely to attract children should have appropriate police checks and be properly recruited, trained and supervised. People who are editorially responsible for moderators and hosts will need to assess the risk to children based on :
- what opportunity for virtual contact they have with children.
- how far they are in a position of trust and authority in relation to child users
- what access they have to personal information about child users.
