Whisper: Secure Anonymous Reporting Tool
Whisper is a secure anonymous reporting platform designed to give students, staff, and young people a safe space to raise concerns. Anonymous reporting allows individuals to share issues without revealing their identity, providing protection when they cannot speak about worries at home.
Whisper supports your organisation’s safeguarding policies while prioritising wellbeing, helping staff respond quickly and effectively to concerns. By using Whisper, organisations gain actionable insights to address both online and offline risks while maintaining trust within their communities.
What Is Anonymous Reporting?
Anonymous reporting is the process of submitting information about risks, incidents, or concerns confidentially and without identifying the reporter. This process allows hidden issues to surface, strengthens safeguarding practices, and encourages open communication within your community.
Whisper provides a secure, accessible platform for anonymous reporting, suitable for schools, colleges, and youth organisations. It ensures that concerns are raised safely, staff can respond appropriately, and reporters are protected from fear or retaliation.
Why Anonymous Reporting Matters
Anonymous reporting helps organisations maintain safe and supportive communities. It enables early detection of risks, supports wellbeing, and ensures that individuals feel safe to raise concerns. By revealing hidden issues, Whisper allows staff to intervene proactively, preventing harm while fostering a culture of trust and transparency.
How Does Whisper Work?
When a report or SMS is submitted, Whisper sends instant email alerts to the relevant staff, enabling rapid follow-up. Its anonymous chat facility allows staff to communicate securely with reporters while preserving their anonymity. The platform is mobile-friendly and user-friendly, encouraging safe engagement from students, staff, and other community members. Whisper provides the intelligence your organisation needs to act effectively while maintaining a confidential reporting environment.
Who is Whisper for?
Hundreds of schools, colleges, and youth organisations across the UK rely on Whisper to safeguard their communities. Organisations use Whisper to protect students and staff from online and offline harm, integrate anonymous reporting into existing policies, and prioritise wellbeing while building a culture of trust.
