Controls and safeguards
Do not post from personal member accounts, reveal live youth or beneficiary locations, or treat a public profile as consent to feature someone.
Every meaningful visual needs an accessible textual equivalent; avoid rapid flashes, tiny type and music-dependent meaning.
HIGH - ephemeral design can conceal permanent consent, safety, accessibility and account-security consequences.
What to measure
Episodes passing consent and accessibility review
Follow-up: Send featured contributors the saved version, answer genuine replies within two business days and remove expired highlights during the monthly rights and facts review.
