• Submission of scholarship entries (which are not made public without your permission)
• User account management via our Learning Management System (LifterLMS)
• Access to E-learning tools and course materials
We do not actively monitor all content uploaded to our platform. Content is reviewed only where required by law, upon receipt of a valid notice, or where otherwise necessary to protect users or comply with legal obligations.
If you believe that any content hosted on our site (including scholarship entries or user-submitted materials) is illegal or violates our terms, you may notify us through our Notice and Action procedure.

• The exact electronic location (URL) of the information in question
• Your name and email address (except for reports involving child safety)

Incomplete notices may delay our ability to act.
Our Response:
• We will acknowledge receipt of your notice without undue delay.
• We will assess the report in a timely, diligent, and objective manner.
• We will notify you of our decision regarding the reported content, unless legally prohibited from doing so.
If we decide to remove content or suspend/restrict access to our services (including E-learning accounts), we will provide the affected user with a Statement of Reasons, unless an exception under applicable law applies.
The Statement of Reasons will include:
• The specific decision taken (e.g., removal of content, account suspension)
• The facts and circumstances relied upon in making the decision
• Whether automated tools were used in the decision-making process
• The legal or contractual basis for the decision (e.g., breach of this policy, violation of Irish law, or a request from a competent authority)
If you disagree with a moderation decision, you have the right to lodge a complaint through our internal complaint-handling system.
• Complaints must be submitted within six (6) months of the original decision.
• Complaints should be sent to: [email protected]
