Ready to talk?

Thank you. You do not have to tell us everything. You do not even have to use your real name. Just tell us what you can — we will take it from there. We are listening.

🌈 You Can Use Our Code System

If you find it hard to say or type what has happened, you can just send us a safe word and a number. That is all you need to do. We will understand.

Step 1 — Pick any safe word

Step 2 — Add a number

1
I do not feel safe where I am
2
Someone has hurt me physically
3
Someone has done something to my body I did not want
4
Someone is making me do things I do not want to do
5
Someone is scaring or controlling me
6
Something is happening online that scares me
7
I am not being looked after properly
8
I am worried about someone else
9
I need help but I do not know how to explain it

Example: Just type "Snowflake 3" in the message box below. That is enough. You do not need to say anything else if you do not want to.

Step 3 — Add a letter for age range optional

B
10 to 13
C

Full example: "Snowflake 3 B — Doncaster" — that tells us everything we need.

📝 Tell Us What You Can

Fill in as much or as little as you want. The only thing we need is your area so we can contact the right local service for you.

Town, city, or postcode — we need this to contact the right local service. We do not need your full address.
You can type a code like "Snowflake 3" or just write what you can. There is no wrong way to do this.
Only fill this in if you want us to follow up. You can use an anonymous or temporary email address.

By sending this form you understand that if we are worried about someone's safety, we may need to pass information to the right statutory service. We will always tell you what we are doing and why.
