Review Cycle: Annually or upon legislative updates
Assessed by: Andy Brice, Director
Service Type: User-to-user technical discussion forum
1. Stage One: Can Children Normally Access the Service?
No age verification is implemented. So it is technically possible for children to access the service.
2. Stage Two: Is the Service Likely to Be Accessed by Children?
a. Child User Condition – Significant Number of Child Users
No known child users based on available analytics and user feedback.
No evidence of under-18 participation in discussions.
No marketing or outreach targeting children.
b. Service Appeal to Children
Forum content is highly technical (e.g. data transformation, programming, data formats, regular expressions).
No gaming, entertainment, pop culture or child-oriented features.
No visual or interactive elements designed to attract children.
No adult content is permitted or present.
Conclusion: The service is not of a kind likely to attract children.
3. Outcome of Assessment
Based on the above, Easy Data Transform forum is not likely to be accessed by children under the UK Online Safety Act 2023. Therefore, the platform is not subject to children’s safety duties under the Act at this time.
4. Reassessment Protocol
This assessment will be reviewed annually, or earlier if:
The service undergoes significant design or content changes.
