You do not have to reveal your identity when you interact with Stop it Now! You don’t have to give a name and you can use a pseudonym whenever you want. You also do not have to provide an address or other personal data. You can mention the region where you are staying, so Stop it Now! – if you would like this – can better look for the most appropriate help.
Situations in which a child or vulnerable person is in imminent danger may lead to a report to the competent authorities who would lift the condition of professional secrecy.
