Plain English Summary

1/10 complexity

What this does: This instrument removes (repeals) two previous pieces of delegated legislation—called 'legislative rules'—that were created under the Enhancing Online Safety for Children Act 2015.

What's being removed:

The 2015 rules about online safety and family/domestic violence
The 2017 rules about intimate images and other measures

Who it affects: Government agencies, online platforms, or individuals who previously had to follow the specific complaint-handling procedures or requirements set out in those rules.

Why it matters: When rules are repealed, their legal requirements no longer apply. This typically happens when regulations are outdated, replaced by newer schemes, or consolidated into a single comprehensive framework. It effectively tidies up the statute book by removing superseded rules.
