Terms and scope

Public handbook only

This website provides stage-one public education and signposting. It is not a legal advice service, reporting service, evidence vault, case triage service, or allegation platform.

ICO and Ofcom review position

ICO privacy, DPIA, lawful basis, special category data, and Data Use and Access Act 2025 public guidance was reviewed on 2 June 2026. Ofcom and GOV.UK Online Safety Act public guidance was also reviewed on 2 June 2026. This is a scope check for the current public website features, not a formal compliance guarantee or legal sign-off.

No evidence intake

The site does not ask visitors to send, paste, upload, store, or publish private evidence. It explains patterns and routes only.

This website does not contain these features

The site may discuss wills, influence, abuse, vulnerability, capacity, money, crime, family systems, and evidence as educational topics. It does not collect, publish, store, or invite private user evidence about those topics.

Feature or data type Current rule
Contact forms, newsletter forms, chat, or direct messaging Not included. Do not add without a privacy notice, data controller decision, retention decision, and safeguarding route.
Evidence uploads, evidence vaults, private case files, or document storage Not included. Do not add without a DPIA, lawful basis, Article 9 and criminal-offence data assessment, security design, and legal review.
Case triage, advice intake, or report-a-concern workflow Not included. The site signposts people to official, professional, and safeguarding routes instead.
Analytics, advertising trackers, accounts, profiles, or behavioural monitoring Not included. The current public build does not intentionally enable Cloudflare Web Analytics, advertising trackers, or site-set cookies.
Public reports, named allegations, user posts, comments, or searchable user content Not included. Do not add without Online Safety Act, defamation, privacy, moderation, complaints, takedown, and safeguarding review.
Health, abuse, vulnerability, capacity, care, financial, crime, or family evidence about identifiable people Not collected or published. Visitors should keep private evidence offline and take it to an appropriate professional, safeguarding, police, court, or regulator route.

No guarantee and no adviser relationship

No outcome guarantee

Red flags, route maps, source links, examples, templates, and checklists do not guarantee a claim, remedy, investigation, complaint outcome, probate result, police action, safeguarding action, or court outcome.

No solicitor-client relationship

Using this site does not create a solicitor-client, adviser-client, support-worker, investigator, or reporting relationship. People should use qualified professional or official routes for advice, reports, urgent risk, and formal action.

  • Document any Article 9 condition before processing special category data.
  • Assess criminal-offence data before collecting reports about suspected crime or named people.
  • Update the privacy notice, cookie position, retention policy, security model, and user safety wording before launch.
