- the URL or reference number of the content
- the reason for the removal request

Upon receiving a request, WPUK will:
acknowledge receipt of the request
review the information provided
assess the request in accordance with applicable laws and public interest considerations
respond within a reasonable timeframe
Where appropriate, WPUK may consult relevant authorities before taking action.
5. Possible Outcomes
Following review, WPUK may:
