<p>We do not tolerate the publication of illegal material on the site, in particular
67+
that which falls under the scope of the Online Safety Act (2023). This includes
68+
terrorism content, CESA content and other forms of priority illegal content as defined
69+
in the act. We have assessed that the risk of the majority of this type of content is
70+
low accross the site, but see below for specific notes on abusive or threatening content.
71+
Requests made through this site are sent to public bodies and as such are unlikely
72+
to contain this sort of material and can be quickly flagged if they do. Should we identify
73+
areas where there may be a risk of this sort of content, such as unused user profiles, we
74+
take steps to minimise the risk of these being viewed.
75+
If you come across any material of this nature, please
76+
<%= link_to 'contact us', help_contact_path %> and we will assess and remove any
77+
content. To enable us to assist you as quickly as possible, please include
78+
a link to the message or document where it appears on WhatDoTheyKnow or the
79+
unique email address that is associated with the request so that we can act quickly
80+
to hide the content while it is assessed.

If you think that we have removed content in error, you can let us know as well. See
