About this site

Safety

Positively Devious is a static information site. It does not run activities, match people, provide casework or take responsibility for a group you join.

Before you act on a page

  • Use a real group with clear rules and a responsible adult or organiser.
  • If you are under 18, tell a trusted adult where you are going and who will be there.
  • Check the group's safeguarding, access, cost and age rules before you join.
  • Do not send personal, private or safeguarding information to this website. It has no form or inbox.
  • If something feels unsafe, stop and tell a trusted adult or the group's safeguarding lead.

What a page can and cannot do

A page can help you plan a conversation, job, event or handover. It cannot judge whether an activity is safe, replace a duty of care, or investigate a concern. Legal, financial and safeguarding duties stay with the people and organisations that hold them.

Help now

If someone is in immediate danger, call 999.

If you are under 19, you can call Childline free on 0800 1111. The call will not show on your phone bill. You can also use the Childline support page for online options and information about confidentiality.
