Safety and boundaries

Warmth needs
clear edges.

Listening can be deeply supportive, but it is not therapy, diagnosis, medical care, crisis response or a substitute for professional help.

01

Before listing

Every listener completes identity, eligibility, training, scenario assessment and human review. Applying is not approval.

02

During sessions

Text only. No files, off-platform contact, sexual content, financial requests or advice presented as professional certainty.

03

Your controls

Leave, report or block at any time. Reports preserve relevant session evidence and can restrict a listener while reviewed.

04

After a concern

Reports are triaged by severity. Outcomes can include guidance, removal, suspension, permanent exclusion or escalation where law requires it.

If someone may be in danger

Immediate danger: call 999.

Urgent mental-health support in England: call NHS 111 and choose option 2.

Samaritans: call 116 123, free, day or night.

Shout: text SHOUT to 85258.
