4. What is Secure Submissions?
Secure Submissions is our confidential and anonymous intake system. It allows individuals to share information, documents, or concerns safely, without having to reveal their identity unless they choose to.
5. Can I submit information anonymously?
Yes. Anonymous submissions are allowed. You control how much information you provide and whether you include contact details.
6. Is my information kept confidential?
Yes. All submissions are handled confidentially. Information is reviewed carefully and shared only where necessary, appropriate, and lawful.
7. Can submitting information put me at risk?
We recognise that fear of risk is real. Our systems and processes are designed to minimise risk by prioritising anonymity, discretion, and information control.
You are never required to share more than you are comfortable with.
8. What happens after I submit information?
Each submission is reviewed to assess:
- The nature of the concern
- Safeguarding considerations
- Potential investigative or support pathways
Not all cases lead to action, but every submission is taken seriously.
9. Will I receive updates about my submission?
We cannot guarantee updates. If you submit anonymously, updates may not be possible. If you provide contact details, we may reach out where appropriate.
Silence does not mean your information has been ignored.
10. Do you provide legal advice?
No. Hidden Injustice CIC does not provide legal advice. However, we may signpost you to appropriate legal, advocacy, or support services through trusted pathways.
11. What is the Direct Help Directory?
The Direct Help Directory provides access to trusted support organisations in countries where Hidden Injustice CIC currently operates. These may include helplines, advocacy services, safeguarding bodies, or specialist support providers.
12. Do I need to be in the same country to get help?
No. You do not need to be physically located in a listed country.
If the wrongdoing, organisation, institution, or individuals involved are connected to a country where we operate, we may still be able to assist you — even if you are abroad.
13. What if I am unsure whether to report my situation?
You do not need to be certain before contacting us.
If something feels wrong, harmful, or concerning, you can still submit information. You are not expected to have proof, legal knowledge, or a fully formed case.
We review all submissions carefully, and your safety and comfort remain the priority at all times.
14. Can I submit information in stages or update it later?
Yes. You can submit partial information. Clarity matters more than completeness.
If you provide contact details, it may be possible to update or clarify information later.
15. What if my situation doesn’t fit a category?
Categories are guidance only. If something feels wrong, harmful, or unjust, you should still contact us.
Human review follows every submission.
16. Do you work with the police, regulators, or media?
There is no automatic sharing of information.
Any engagement with authorities, regulators, or media is considered carefully and may depend on safeguarding needs, public interest, legal obligations, or consent where appropriate.
17. Will my case be made public?
No. Submissions are not published by default.
Any public exposure, investigation, or reporting is subject to strict assessment and safeguarding considerations.
18. Is Hidden Injustice CIC independent?
Yes. Hidden Injustice CIC is independent and not affiliated with government bodies, corporations, or political organisations.
We operate in the public interest and are mission-led.
19. How can I get immediate help?
If you need urgent support, you should use the Direct Help Directory to access trusted organisations that can provide immediate assistance.
