Always remember to delete text messages you have sent or received – unless they are messages sent by an abuser. Threatening or harassing text messages may be used as evidence – you could screenshot these and save them somewhere safe.
You can delete call logs on your phone. It may be safer to make a call on a trusted friend’s phone.
If you are concerned that someone else may come into the room while you are visiting this site, and you do not want them to see what you are looking at, the quickest way to hide the site is to close the window or click on the ‘Safety Exit’ on the bottom right hand side of this website which is also static for easy access as you scroll.
You could also open another browser window and leave it open at another website, placing it behind the window you are currently using (this site). This way, if you have to quickly close the main window, you will not be left looking at a blank screen.
