How we can help
Before we could normally help anyone we would need them to become a client and go through ID checks, however, we understand that your internet may be being checked and as such doing this may put you in danger, as such in this situation we will take your details from a third party such as a friend. We would need them to become a client as normal, but would then give both of you access to our “secret diary” section that allows either of you to send us messages, photos or videos which are held on our server but never shown as ever being received. In effect once entered they can never be accessed by anyone without our permission.
This means that victims can send us details without the risk of discovery and retaliation, we would not contact you directly but through your chosen third party.
As a second step in protecting our clients is that when you submit information to your “secret diary” your search engine history would not make the link obvious, it may say something along the lines of “24-hour news channel”, or “today’s weather”. This prevents abusers from checking your internet history and seeing that you have contacted us.
Your case manager would work through your third party to develop a solution, we may need to make discrete enquiries with the Police or home office to try and develop a workable solution, rest assured we would not release your details or the data held in your “secret diary” without your express consent unless in “extreme situations”.
Example “extreme situations”
We would only take this decision if you are not in a position to release them because of being so seriously injured that you are not mentally able to give consent. Such a situation may be that your injuries have put you in a coma, or even resulted in your death. In these situations, we would release details to the Police to aid their enquiries.
