What UK Online Safety Act 2023 Section 11 - Children's Risk Assessment Duties (User-to-User Services) requires

Providers of regulated user-to-user services that are likely to be accessed by children must carry out suitable and sufficient children's risk assessments at the times specified in Schedule 3 (initial, when Ofcom updates risk profiles, and before significant service changes). The assessment must cover the user base including child numbers by age group, the risks of children encountering primary priority, priority, and non-designated content that is harmful to children, the severity of harm by content type and demographic, design features that create risk (especially adult-to-child contact functionalities), usage patterns, and the impact of design, governance, technology, and media literacy on the identified risks. Providers must notify Ofcom of non-designated harmful content types and incidence.
