If you're considering getting in touch with our team, it's a good idea to first think about who might be able to see your phone, computer, or tablet.
This is especially important if you’re worried about the person you want to talk about. They might be right there in the room with you, or you might be concerned they’re keeping an eye on what you’re doing on your device.
If you’re feeling unsure about how private your device is, here’s what you can do for peace of mind:
- Quickly leave this site by clicking the ‘Quick exit’ button.
- Feel free to give our Helpline a call, or use a device you’re sure about to look at the websites we’ve mentioned.
