FAQ

No. Here at SPB we have a strict confidentiality promise. Anything you disclose to us is completely confidential. This means anything you say to us will never be disclosed to anyone. Sometimes there is a need to tell a professional but we will do our best (where possible) to tell you before this happens. We'd only need to say or do something if:

• You ask us to.
• We believe your life or someone else's life is in danger.
• You tell us that you're seriously hurting another person or that another person is hurting you.
• We believe a child is at risk.

All volunteers working for SPB will wear red vests and carry identification badges including their name and position held within SPB.

You can also check their ID by scanning their card with your mobile. This will let you know their ID is valid and up to date.

The database is updated daily.
