It’s important to allow people to describe what they’ve experienced in their own words. All of our forms are designed to empower reporters to use their voices to share their experiences.  These questions are optional but are encouraged.

As such, it’s important that we work with our partners to understand the benefits of giving reporters a voice and how to deal with cases where individuals are identified in anonymous reporting, and the organisation being ‘on notice’.

If something is raised, or someone is identified in an anonymous report, the organisation may hold this data for the period outlined in their privacy notice. This can help prevent further unacceptable behaviour to others.
