Togetherall has strict rules to ensure your safety. We have House Rules and the Privacy Policy that guide you on how to keep safe on the site. We advocate a policy of non-exchange of personal information or private contacts. All new content generated by our members on the site, including Talkabouts and Bricks are monitored 24/7.
Specific behavior on the website will trigger a response by Togetherall staff (Wall Guides) and an escalation process will be implemented. While it happens infrequently, we will remove any content from the website and bar members who are not working within the House Rules and a Privacy Policy.
Research has demonstrated that people tend to avoid sharing their troubles with friends, family or healthcare professionals. For example, 50% never go to a doctor for fear of stigma. Men in particular are afraid to reveal how they feel or what's troubling them. Togetherall provides an environment in which members feel safe and supported while remaining anonymous. Through our anonymity feature you are free to talk about the things that matter to you without the fear of being judged or someone you know finding out.
Togetherall takes your safety very seriously and we would encourage you to do the same. Contact a Wall Guide through the 'Ask a Wall Guide' button if you are concerned about how another member is behaving with you or with other members - do not hesitate, better safe than sorry - Wall Guides will not identify that you have alerted them.

Secondly, members can report unwanted behavior through our simple process. Members can click on the 'Report post' button on many pages of the website to report abuse of the system. An alert is then sent to a team member from Togetherall, for example a Wall Guide. For more information about what constitutes inappropriate behavior on Togetherall, please read our House Rules.
If somebody has broken the house rules let us know by clicking the 'Ask a Wall Guide' button at the top right corner of every page or use the report button and select ‘I think this is offensive content’ to alert the Wall Guide Team.
