Consent comes before publication, always
Each story needs recorded consent covering the text, the photograph and the name. For anyone under
18: written consent from a parent or guardian plus the child's own assent, and first names by
default. Consent can be withdrawn at any time and we take the story down.
Tell your story
You keep control of it. All of it.
You choose what is included, whether your surname appears, whether a photograph is used, and whether it stays up. Nothing is published until you have read it back and said yes.
- We record the conversation, you approve the write-up
- You can be named, first-name-only, or anonymous
- Photographs are optional
- You can withdraw at any point, before or after publication
