2.6.3.1 Wellcome's position

Wellcome Collection considers that it has a legitimate reason for possessing or showing CSAM ONLY where the collection is used for legitimate research.

We consider the grounds for sharing or showing any such images (except where complying with a legal authority) for the purposes of legitimate research to be limited when balanced against the legal, safeguarding and ethical risks that any such activity would raise. See the Requests for Access section for further details.

Our internal review panel will consider any requests for access together with a judgement of legal risk.
