A UK parent's walkthrough for reporting streamers, chat messages and clips on Kick, plus the UK reporting routes when a child is at risk.
Kick is a live-streaming platform with looser content moderation than Twitch or YouTube. Streams can contain adult language, gambling content, and unfiltered chat. Reports are handled by Kick's moderation team via an in-app and web flow.
This page walks through how to report streams, clips, chat and users on Kick, what to save first, and the UK escalation routes when a child is involved. If a child is in immediate danger, call 999.
On a live stream, screenshot the chat including the username and the stream title. For a clip, use the clip's share link (kick.com/...). Note the time, channel name and what was said or shown.
Open the channel page, click the three-dot menu under the stream, choose Report channel. Select the reason (Hateful conduct, Sexual content, Targeted harassment, Violence, Grooming, Spam) and add a short description.
Hover over (desktop) or long-press (mobile) the chat message, choose Report. Pick the matching reason. Channel moderators see this first; serious cases go to Kick's Trust & Safety team.
On the clip or video-on-demand page, click the three-dot menu, choose Report. Include the timestamp where the harm occurs.
For grooming or sexual content involving a child, report to CEOP at ceop.police.uk and call 101 (or 999 if a child is in immediate danger). For child sexual abuse imagery, report the URL to the Internet Watch Foundation at iwf.org.uk. For scams, contact Action Fraud on 0300 123 2040.
After evidence is saved, use the channel's Block option to stop further exposure. On family-managed devices, add kick.com to the parental-control block list.
Talk calmly to your child about what they saw and remind them they did the right thing by telling you. Inform the school's Designated Safeguarding Lead if the content was shared during school hours or involves other pupils.
Save evidence BEFORE blocking the account: once blocked you may lose access to the messages.
