Trust Centre Policy

Community Guidelines

Behaviour expectations for current reporting flows and future interactive features.

Source-Controlled Doc

This public page is rendered from product-development/trust-and-safety/public-policy/community-guidelines.md.

Current Scope

Parliament People currently expects users to read, inspect provenance, report concerns, request corrections, and ask for reconsideration where a material correction request is rejected.

Current behaviour expectations apply to reports, contact messages, correction requests, and appeal conduct.

Current Expectations

  • Report concerns in good faith.
  • Include source links, screenshots, dates, or other evidence where available.
  • Do not submit abusive, threatening, harassing, discriminatory, or knowingly false reports.
  • Do not use reporting or appeal channels to suppress accurate source-grounded coverage.
  • Do not include unnecessary personal data or private information.
  • Respect that public transparency entries cannot expose private reporter identity, legal advice, or restricted evidence.

Handling Misuse

Parliament People may disregard duplicate, abusive, bad-faith, or irrelevant submissions. Material reports should still be reviewed when they contain credible evidence, even if the reporter is anonymous or critical.

Future Interactive Features

Comments, debate participation, opinion posts, annotations, user-submitted evidence, quote-posting, sharing inside the product, reactions that affect ranking, and personalised feeds are not covered as live public participation features by this page.

Before any such feature launches, Parliament People must update these guidelines, define moderation and appeal flows, review child and vulnerable-user risk where relevant, and consider transparency-log obligations.
