“We have strong protocols in place to ensure participant safety and wellbeing. There is a structured, multi-stage checking process that every participant must complete and clear.

“This includes police and criminal-history checks in each declared country of residence, independent clinical psychological assessment, medical screening, disclosure supported by a statutory declaration, and legal and digital due diligence.

“The support for participants is continually evolving and each season we re-assess this framework.”
