Please get in touch with us if you gave your details but haven’t heard from the police.

We will never pass on your data to other parties without your consent, apart from rare exceptions where we believe there is a serious risk to your safety or the safety of someone else. In those rare cases, we may escalate a situation to the necessary authorities such as a safeguarding lead in a Local Authority, or to the police.

Speaking with a Helpline Operator means that we can find out more about what happened and how we can support you, but we understand that some people would rather not have to speak with someone. If this is the case, what you’ve told us will be logged, but we might not be able to use it in our reports without further information.
