How it works

A calm, clear process

The case is not a public complaint page or open chat. Each person can explain what happened and suggest what should happen next.

01
Tell us what happened
Choose the venue, describe the facts and say what practical outcome would help.
02
Review what will be shared
You approve the concise case summary before the venue can see it. Your private identity stays separate.
03
Exchange structured responses
Both sides get equal access to the shared record, clear deadlines and focused ways to respond.
04
Work towards a resolution
Propose practical actions, record any agreement and confirm when agreed actions are complete.

Your privacy

Check what will be shared before we send it

We check your name and contact details in private. You can stay unnamed to the venue. Evidence is never shared automatically.

Secure, expiring case links
No detailed allegations in notification emails
A complete private case timeline
Human access only when there is a documented reason

Shared with both parties

Only the summary and evidence you deliberately approve for sharing.

Private unless a mediator is assigned

Safety comes first

If someone is in immediate danger, call 999 now
