Community-submitted
The record presents a submitted account that has not been independently verified.
How to read the evidence
From a community report to a safe public record
Every public record passes through classification, review and safety decisions. The visuals below show what the labels mean, how priorities are formed and when location details can appear.
The publication journey
Four gates between submission and publication
A submitted report stays distinct from the public record created from it.
A report is received
Community members submit an account and any supporting evidence. This information is not automatically a finding.
Issues are standardised
Issue groups and impacts are cleaned from Kobo fields. Any unresolved category stays marked “not specified.”
Review and safety checks
The review level is labelled, sensitive details are edited, and location consent is checked before public use.
A public record is approved
A separate, safety-edited record is published. It may combine relevant context from several sources.
Triage, not proof
How action priority is formed
Five submitted or derived signals are combined to help teams see where a response may be most urgent.
Priority does not measure truth.It is not an independent verification score or a legal finding.

Read the label first
Verification labels show the level of review
Partially verified
Some material elements have been checked, while others remain unconfirmed.
Verified
The published record has completed the applicable verification review.
Aggregate
The record summarises patterns across multiple reports rather than one incident.
Location and suppression
Consent decides how precise a public location can be
Submitted incident GPS is considered separately from the rest of the report.
Map counts are not prevalence.Reporting access and coverage differ between places.
Decision pointExact-location publication consent recorded?
YesExact GPS may be public
Only when the public record is separately approved.
NoGeneralise or omit
The public record does not show the submitted point.
Fairness and corrections
Four safeguards around every public record
Coordination, not blame
Suggested duty bearers identify institutions that may need to coordinate a response. They are not findings of fault.
Right of reply
Named institutions receive a right of reply where policy requires it.
Visible corrections
Material corrections are versioned and explained rather than silently replaced.
Emergency takedown
Urgent removal is available when publication creates a safety risk.
Before drawing a conclusion
Check three things
- 1What is the verification label?
- 2Is the location exact, generalised or omitted?
- 3Does the record show a correction or reply?
