Selective support and access programme connecting smaller companies to safety expertise
Tech Coalition Pathways
Pathways is the Tech Coalition's no-cost capacity-building programme for eligible employees of non-member companies handling user content or communications. Launched on 18 July 2024, it offers guidance, resources and licensing opportunities intended to strengthen companies' response to online child sexual exploitation and abuse.
Participation, services and separate entitlements
The operator's December 2025 account reports 67 participant companies, five resources and two fireside chats. Applicants undergo eligibility and registration review and agree to published access and confidentiality conditions. Membership is neither required nor guaranteed. Accepted participants may apply for a PhotoDNA sublicense, which remains a separate approval; participation also does not imply Lantern access. The Coalition's paid Elevate advisory service is distinct from Pathways and from the Christchurch Call Foundation's separately named Elevate programme.
offers no-cost support after eligibility and registration review
Current programme targets company employees handling user content/communications, excludes current member staff and vendors without that role, and reviews applicants. Coalition membership is neither required nor guaranteed. No registration or acceptance event observed.
is described as a deeper service that can complement free support
Current page offers consulting alongside Pathways or membership. Its form links a distinct /terms/ page not acquired, so the nine Pathways clauses are not treated as this consulting contract.
requires agreement to published non-member access conditions
Intake links the nine clauses and confidentiality agreement; continued use accepts discretionary updates. This is a published condition, not proof a particular company accepted it.
offers an application opportunity separate from participation
Accepted Pathways page permits applying for a PhotoDNA sublicense. Programme admission does not guarantee licence, membership or reference-data access.
