Do you keep records, and who has access to them?2022-03-28T13:21:22+01:00

We keep records of your personal information, but not your home address – only the town in which you live. After each call our volunteers write an assessment to summaries the call. The records are kept confidential unless there is a threat to yourself, the public or suspicions of terrorism. All records are deleted after 7 years.
