We have updated our protection procedures and made changes to how we manage protection notifications (previously called allegations of abuse). As you will know, some changes were introduced in April 2025, and we have since made further minor updates. These improvements will help ensure we receive accurate information and reduce the need for unnecessary follow-up where details are missing.
Protection procedures update February 2026
