Evidence-Based Tools for Real-World Impact
The Online Safety Exchange develops innovative solutions that translate cutting-edge research into practical tools practitioners can use to create safer online environments. Our approach combines scientific rigour with real-world application, ensuring every solution we build drives measurable harm reduction outcomes.
Our Development Philosophy
Research-Grounded Innovation
Every solution we develop starts with evidence. We synthesise the latest research findings and translate them into actionable tools that practitioners can implement effectively in their specific contexts.
Practitioner-Centred Design
Our extensive network of online safety professionals across platforms, NGOs, enforcement agencies, and consulting practices informs every stage of development. We build solutions that solve real problems practitioners face daily.
Multi-Stakeholder Testing
Before any solution reaches full deployment, it’s tested across different organisational contexts and stakeholder groups to ensure broad applicability and effectiveness.
Iterative Improvement
We don’t just build and release—we continuously gather implementation feedback to refine our solutions and maximise their real-world impact.
Two Development Pathways
OSX-Led Strategic Innovation: We identify critical gaps in the online safety ecosystem and develop comprehensive solutions to address them, representing our strategic vision for advancing evidence-based practice globally.
Custom Development Services: We also build to order, working with partners to develop tailored solutions that meet their specific needs while maintaining our commitment to evidence-based design and real-world effectiveness.
Our Commitment
Whether developing flagship innovations or custom solutions, we maintain the same commitment to evidence-based design, practitioner input, and measurable impact. Our global network ensures solutions work effectively across diverse contexts and constraints.
