We know that making a decision to report, whether anonymously or otherwise, may be daunting. If you'd like to talk to someone in confidence* before you submit a report, or if you've made a report and want support through the next steps, you can speak to any of the following. They will all listen without judgement and can signpost you to sources of support and information where appropriate. If you decide to submit a report, they can talk you through that process in advance, or while you enter the details yourself online. A Guide on Nexus highlights the people available to assist you including
