It has come to our attention that there are groups and individuals who do not work for the NHS or respected sex worker support organizations giving out information about our services.
These groups and individuals are accompanying the police on raids into flats, saunas and parlours.
The following organisations would like you to know that we NEVER accompany the police on raids or closures.
We would also like you to know what you can and should expect of us when we visit you on outreach.

- We will NEVER visit you with the police or give information about you and where you work to the Police.
- We will never criticize, judge or challenge you or the work you do

- Each service has a clear confidentiality policy, and staff will be happy to discuss this with you.
- We will be open, honest and transparent about the services we offer and carry leaflets and information that will tell you what we do.
