In certain circumstances, if a post raises concerns about your safety, we may try to contact you to check that you and /or others are safe. If there are significant concerns, we may need to pass on your contact information to authorities who can help protect you and /or others, such as a crisis service or the police. Our preferred way to do this would be to support you to seek help.
