Before You Report

  • Write down what you know in a safe place - notes app, private document
  • Consider whether the victim knows you're reporting (if possible to ask)
  • Ensure you have a private, secure place to complete the form

Your Legal Position

  • Reporting suspected abuse is protected under UK whistleblowing laws
  • Good faith reporting is legally protected even if details prove incorrect
  • Professionals may have duty of care obligations to report

Expect Additional Scrutiny

Third-party reports receive additional verification to ensure they're made in good faith and protect against malicious reporting.

This is standard safeguarding practice. Your identity as the reporter will be protected, and we understand you're acting out of genuine concern.

Speaking up for someone who cannot speak up for themselves takes courage. You're doing the right thing.
