Who moderates
TalkLife Workplace?

Three layers, shared responsibility
Each layer has a distinct job. Together they reduce blind spots: speed from automation, judgment from professionals, and safeguarding depth when wellbeing is at stake.
AI framework
- · We use a number of models that work at creation, running in parallel so no single vendor holds sole authority.
- · Screens every post at the point of creation before it reaches the wider feed.
- · Human reviewers assess all content, supported by ML classifiers and policy rules that surface potentially harmful content.
- · Restricted search terms and discovery limits reduce harmful content pathways.
- · Honour System and community norms reinforce positive behaviour alongside automation.
Trust & Safety team
- · Professional staff dedicated to community safety and policy enforcement.
- · Trained in coded language detection and behavioural analysis, not just keyword matching.
- · Hierarchical structure: team leads, senior moderators, and safeguarding liaison for escalations.
- · Every serious action is visible in our case management system for oversight, audit, and organisational reporting.
Safeguarding team
- · 24/7 safeguarding coverage so high-risk moments are never left unattended.
- · I-CARE framework (Identify, Classify, Assess, Respond, Escalate) structures every escalation.
- · One-to-one private conversations when an employee needs professional support.
- · Signposting to professional support services, customised to an employer/organisation level.
- · Incident reporting with clear handoffs to your organisation where your protocol requires it.
- · Follow-up and closure so cases are not dropped mid-stream.
Rules that keep peer support constructive
Clear standards make moderation fair and predictable. Serious breaches can lead to suspension or banning; members can appeal when they believe a mistake was made.
Respect
Treat others with dignity. Disagreement is fine; harassment is not.
Zero tolerance for hate
No discrimination or targeted abuse based on identity or beliefs.
Share safely
Avoid graphic detail that could harm others or retraumatise the community.
Prohibited content
No illegal activity, sexual content involving minors, or instructions for self-harm.
Protect privacy
Do not share personal details about yourself or anyone else.
Appropriate use
Peer support, not therapy replacement. Use safeguarding and crisis routes when needed.
Enforcement and appeals
Repeated or severe violations may result in temporary suspension or a permanent ban, applied in line with policy and fully documented. Members may submit an appeal for review. The goal is both community safety and procedural fairness.
User safety controls
Moderation is not only top-down. Employees get tools to shape their own experience and step back when they need to.
Trigger warnings
Employees can label sensitive topics so others can choose whether to engage.
Hide, block, and snooze
Control who you see and when you need a break without leaving the community.
Content filters
Tune what appears in your feed to match your comfort level.
Anonymous posting
Usernames only. Share experiences without exposing real-world identity.
Safety Centre
In-app guidance, reporting paths, and links to crisis resources in one place.
Built for real working life
Stress, burnout, and tough personal moments do not follow a nine-to-five schedule. TalkLife Workplace mirrors that reality with continuous moderation and safeguarding cover, transparent guidelines, and tools employees can use to protect their own wellbeing.
- ✓ Multi-model AI at creation, with humans and safeguarding specialists in the loop for serious cases
- ✓ Trust & Safety trained for subtle risk, not only obvious rule breaks
- ✓ Safeguarding languages and I-CARE so support matches the moment
Knowing that employees have round-the-clock support with real-time safeguarding gives us confidence, and it reduces pressure.

Who moderates TalkLife Workplace?
Common questions from employees, People/HR teams, and safeguarding leads.
Moderation is delivered by a combined team: professional Trust & Safety staff who review all content supported by AI that assists with identifying potentially harmful content, and safeguarding specialists for escalations. Humans lead every decision.
Trust & Safety staff are trained professionals with ongoing education in coded language, behavioural risk, and community policy. Safeguarding specialists hold relevant qualifications and operate under TalkLife Workplace safeguarding governance. AI is a tool they use, not a substitute for judgment.
Our Trust & Safety team reviews all content around the clock, supported by AI that assists with identifying potentially harmful content. Safeguarding pathways activate when human reviewers identify a user who may need support, with 24/7 coverage so urgent cases are picked up without waiting for office hours.
Coverage is continuous. Our Trust & Safety team works around the clock supported by AI, and the safeguarding team maintains the same 24/7 roster. Your employees are not outside monitored support because the clock changed.
Yes. Enforcement is phased where appropriate, and members can appeal through the published process. Appeals are reviewed against community guidelines and case notes so decisions are consistent and auditable.
