Online Harm Response ScorecardHow ready is your organisation when a child tells you about online harm?
A short, evidence-based assessment for schools, clubs and services. See where your response is strong, where it is thin, and what to prioritise next.
Free. Takes about 4 minutes.
Clarity about your safeguarding response, in minutes
Four levels of readiness, honestly assessed
Reactive Response
You respond when something happens, but it depends on who is in the room that day.
Partially Prepared
Some steps are in place, though gaps remain between policy and what staff actually do.
Process-Led but Clinically Thin
Solid processes exist, yet the response to online harm exposure lacks clinical depth.
Evidence-Ready
Concerns are recorded, findable, and defensible if you were asked for evidence tomorrow.
