  • Whether the person is aware you are raising this concern
  • Any immediate dangers or risks to the individual

Can I remain anonymous?

Yes, you can remain anonymous, but this may limit our ability to complete a full investigation.

Will the information I share be confidential?

Everything you share will remain confidential. However, if there are immediate concerns about safety, we may need to share some information with relevant agencies, such as the police.

We will always respect your privacy.
