How are users kept safe and anonymous?
Users are pseudo-anonymous. This means you provide a username which is how you are known on the site, without being visibly identified to our team or other users. We have a duty of care to safeguard your wellbeing.
If we are really worried about a user and think that they are at risk or in danger, we in most cases will talk to the individual to gain consent to share their details so that they can be referred to the appropriate services.

We do not require a referral letter, as you can access the service quickly and easily by going to kooth.com or qwell.io and clicking ‘join’.
