Children's Access Assessment

Document history

  • 16/03/2025: Initial Assessment (WW)

Access assessment

This assessment is made in Treadl's ongoing commitment to ensuring online safety on its platform in accordance with the UK Online Safety Act. It is managed as part of Treadl's online safety processes and policies available from its Online Safety Portal.

Guidance published by Ofcom (including the Children's access assessment guidance document) was used to inform this process. As such, we consider the two-stage process documented in this guidance.

Stage 1: Can children normally access the service, or part of the service?

Can children normally access the service?

  • Yes, children can access the service and highly-effective age assurance is not in-place to restrict access to adults.

Stage 2: Is the child user condition met?

Is my service, or part of my service, of a kind likely to attract a significant number of children?

  • No, Treadl is not aimed at children and does not offer features that would attract children to join and use the system. It is aimed at professional or learning weavers; a relatively niche service in the context of the wider internet. We assess that Treadl offers no network effect mechanisms that would cause a significant number of children to join and that there are no features that a significant number of children would find attractive to join and use.

Is there a significant number of children who are users of my service, or part of my service?

  • No, there are no known children on Treadl. Whilst Treadl does not collect age-related data from its users to empirically quantify the age of the user base, qualitative analysis of user metadata (including email addresses), usage patterns, user conversations, and referrers indicate that the number of children on Treadl is negligible, or non-significant.

Assessment outcome

Based on the two-stage process described above, we assess that the child user condition is not met, and therefore a children's risk assessment is not required, as per Online Safety Act guidance.
