Hi everyone — I’m Simon, based in the UK, and I work in editorial compliance for a global media network.
Most of what I do is behind the scenes, helping make sure animation, kids shows, and learning content meet the right editorial and platform standards before they’re released — things like Ofcom, FCC, COPPA, YouTube Kids, etc.
It’s a bit of a niche area, but I’ve spent years reviewing scripts, outlines, and episodes to make sure they land well for families, pass regional rules, and don’t accidentally raise red flags. I’ve work across the UK, North America, EMEA and LATAM markets — always learning something new with each region. I’ve even been know to stretch my Premiere and After Effects skills on a daily basis.
I joined Stage32 to meet more people working in animation, education, or digital content who might want to connect — even just to share ideas or trade stories. If anyone’s ever unsure about age-appropriateness, platform limits, or just wants a second pair of eyes, I’m happy to help where I can.
Excited to be here and looking forward to learning from you all!
