Guided Risk Assessment

Note to users: Some of the following factors may not affect the victim’s overall risk score, but the resulting mitigations may have positive victim/survivor outcomes.

Risk factors

Offender Behaviour and Intent

For example: place of education, address etc.

For example: a friend, a family friend, a teacher etc.

For example: content distribution, stalking etc. perpetrated by multiple offenders

Content Distribution and Exposure
Content in circulation:

For example: live links to content on CSA related sites/platforms

Known/strongly suspected within the last 3 years

It has been 3+ years since the last known/strongly suspect incident of content distribution, with no known/strongly suspected distribution in recent years

Personal information disclosed/discussed:

Examples: Victim's first name, approximate location such as town or city.

Example: Full name of the victim, full current home address of the victim. This risk factor may also be relevant for cases where multiple ‘partial information’ data points have been publicly shared and the aggregation of them could realistically result in identification.

For example: large follower base, victim is an influencer

For example: full name in bio

This includes direct attribution (e.g. victim named) and indirect attribution (e.g. victim not named but media coverage attributed to the victim by individuals familiar with the case such as offenders)

For example: collages made of the victim, victim is described as being of fundamental importance to the CSA spaces

Psychological/Functional Impact

This may include panic attacks but not always
