A private individual
Keeping dignity and discretion central to a personal protection conversation.
The consideration
A person seeking protection may not be used to discussing security. Clear language, an appropriate level of information and respect for privacy make the initial conversation more useful.
The working relationship
Let the person’s needs guide the scope. Distinguish protection from emergency assistance, legal services and other specialist support. Any arrangement should have clear responsibilities and agreed boundaries.
The scope discussion
Share only a general description of the requirement initially. Do not upload evidence, third-party details or a home address. For immediate danger, contact emergency services rather than using the website.
