We welcome the work of Journalists who are committed to exposing the widespread human rights abuses in the UK but unfortunately you cannot join as a member.
The Stop Safeguarding Now Coalition (SSNC) recognizes that the mainstream media has often failed to report the truth about Social Services. We value the bravery of Journalists (whether Citizen or Accredited) and independent creators who use their platforms to expose state overreach. However, to maintain the safety of our coalition, we have a clear boundary regarding membership.
1. No Journalists in Member Spaces Our private member groups and forums are “safe spaces” for families and victims to seek emotional support, share advice, pool resources and protest whilst abiding by the law. To prevent any breach of confidentiality—accidental or otherwise—we do not allow anyone currently operating as a journalist (citizen or mainstream) to join as a member.
2. If you have been personally affected by safeguarding and want to join as a victim, you must strictly follow our Terms and Conditions in the same way as every other Member.
3. All Members are prohibited from quoting or reporting on anything said within the private member areas or in meetings or during protests.
2. How we support Journalists While you cannot be a member, we are happy to support your reporting. We provide:
Public Data & Fact Sheets: We share the “Four Nations” statistics and research that the state tries to hide whilst campaigning for more statistical information to be collected to begin with.
Member Interviews: If you wish to interview a family or victim, we can facilitate this on the condition that you use a unique pseudonym and strictly adhere to Transparency Orders (where applicable).
Media Briefings: We host separate briefings specifically for those looking to report the facts to the wider public.
3. The “Jigsaw Identification” Rule Journalists must be aware that while the 2025/2026 transparency laws allow for more reporting, the penalties for identifying a child or a vulnerable adult named in one are severe. By working with our public materials, you agree never to attempt to “unmask” our members or provide enough detail to allow others to do so.
The Verdict: We want the truth to get out, and we want you to tell it. But we will not sacrifice the privacy of our members to do so. If you are here to report, please contact us using our contact form.
