Safeguarding Q+A Information

With recent changes due to the merging with Mental Health Invocation (MHI). We thought it would be good to host a Community Q&A about Safeguarding.
Topic
How we safeguard you at The Mix, Shout and the wider MHI. You can ask questions about all of our services - these discussion boards, group chat, and 1-2-1 services like the Shout and counselling, even how safeguarding practices apply to our social media.
When?
We will set up the thread on Thursday January 30th. Then you will be able to ask your questions and they will be answered within a few days. Unlike other Q&A's, this will be ongoing and we'll keep answering your questions for as long as you ask them.
If you would like to ask a question now, that will be answered once the thread is set up then please use this anonymous form. https://docs.google.com/forms/d/12k44fPiMguy3ZQu12kk8bJAFuxQXQFRNjWb9UvrhJ7Q/viewform?edit_requested=true
Where?
Post your questions on the thread once it’s set up on the 30th.
If you'd like to ask your question anonymously, click here https://docs.google.com/forms/d/12k44fPiMguy3ZQu12kk8bJAFuxQXQFRNjWb9UvrhJ7Q/viewform?edit_requested=true and a staff member will post your question on your behalf. Keep an eye on this thread to see the answer.
Who are the experts?
Joe, Sharon, Charlotte, Georgia and Deanna - all members of the MHI safeguarding Team. We will all introduce ourselves when the thread is set up.
📝 Note: this isn't a support thread
If you'd like to get some support with anything you're thinking or feeling, head over to Get Support and start your own discussion where everyone can support you.
What is safeguarding?
Safeguarding describes how we keep all of those unable to protect themselves safe from harm or risk. That means keeping you safe as an individual, making sure our services are safe overall and sometimes passing on information to help protect people wider.
'Safe' can mean keeping you safe from trolls or other unfriendly characters, keeping you safe if you or another member is at risk of harm, deleting triggering content, and much more.
Is there anything I can't ask?
We won't discuss real situations involving real people for privacy reasons, and we can't comment on other support services. You can ask questions on pretty much everything else.
If we don't know the answer to your question, we'll be honest and say that. We might be able to go away and research your question or point you in the direction of someone else who knows the answer.
