Safeguarding

How we try to keep people safe here, and where our limits are.

Who this site is for

This site is for people aged 18 and over. If you are younger, we are glad you want to be heard. Please talk to a trusted adult, or use a service made for young people, such as the ones on our urgent help page.

What we are not

We are volunteers who pray. We are not counsellors, doctors or an emergency service, and nobody monitors the site around the clock. Praying and seeking professional help go together, and we encourage both.

If something you write worries us

  • Shared prayers appear straight away, but anything that could identify someone is checked by a person first, and any prayer on the wall can be reported.
  • Private requests are not read in real time, so please do not rely on us in a crisis.
  • If a request suggests someone may be in danger, we may reply to the whole community with crisis resources, or add a gentle note beside it. We cannot contact you, because we do not know who you are.

Protecting others

  • Please do not name or describe other people in ways that could identify them. This includes people who have harmed you.
  • Anything that targets a person, asks others to find someone, or tries to contact a vulnerable person will be removed.
  • There is no private messaging between visitors.

Reporting a concern

Every public request has a Report button. A person reviews every report. If something is removed that you think should not have been, you can appeal through the contact page.
