Safe by design

Everyone deserves to connect, learn and create change without fear. Here is how we keep our community safe.

Support

Someone is always listening

Report a concern any time. Trained staff review every report and respond with care.

Adults only (18+)

The pilot is open to adults aged 18 and over. Members confirm their age at sign-up; accounts found to belong to under-18s are closed.

Report anything

Every post, comment and profile has a Report option. Reports go privately to moderators — the person reported is never told who reported them.

How moderation works

Moderators review reports, may hide content, warn or suspend members, and every action is recorded in an audit log.

Block and control

You can block any member. Only accepted connections can message you, and your email is never shown.

Online events

Hosts can remove disruptive participants, and private join links are only shared with registered members. Never share event links publicly.

Protecting yourself

Don't share your password, home address, financial details or identity documents with other members. GYN staff will never ask for your password.

Scams and fake opportunities

We review every opportunity before it is published. If something asks you to pay a fee or seems too good to be true, report it and don't send money.

Wellbeing

If a conversation upsets you, you can step away, block, and report at any time. You don't need to give a reason.

Our commitments

We respond to safety reports as a priority, aim to review them within 48 hours, keep reporters' identities private, and never tolerate retaliation.

Urgent concerns

If someone is in immediate danger, contact your local emergency services first, then let us know.
