Long FAQ — 40 Questions (UK)
Tap a question to expand. Calm, validating, non-judgmental. No pressure. Safety-first.
You stay in control here. You don’t need perfect words to ask for help. You can start with “I don’t know what to call it.”
This is general legal information, not legal advice.
01) I’m not sure it “counts”. What if it was only touching or kissing?
If it wasn’t wanted, it matters. Unwanted sexual touching, kissing, grabbing, groping, or cornering can still be sexual assault. You don’t need perfect words to ask for help.
This is general legal information, not legal advice.
You deserve safety. You deserve respect. You deserve to be believed.
02) I froze or went quiet. I didn’t clearly say “no”. Does that change anything?
No. Freezing is a common trauma response. Consent must be active and freely given. Silence is not consent.
This is general legal information, not legal advice.
You deserve safety. You deserve respect. You deserve to be believed.
03) We had flirted before / dated before. Can it still be assault?
Yes. Previous consent or a relationship does not equal consent later. Consent must exist every time.
This is general legal information, not legal advice.
You deserve safety. You deserve respect. You deserve to be believed.
04) It happened at a work party / client dinner / taxi. Is it still workplace-related?
Yes. Work events, travel, conferences, and “after drinks” linked to work can still be treated as workplace-related.
This is general legal information, not legal advice.
You deserve safety. You deserve respect. You deserve to be believed.
05) I was drunk. Does that mean I consented?
No. Alcohol can remove the ability to freely consent. Being intoxicated is not consent.
This is general legal information, not legal advice.
You deserve safety. You deserve respect. You deserve to be believed.
06) There was no injury. Will anyone take me seriously?
Yes. Many assaults leave no visible injury. Your experience still matters.
This is general legal information, not legal advice.
You deserve safety. You deserve respect. You deserve to be believed.
07) I’m scared of retaliation at work. What can I do first?
Start quietly: write down what happened, preserve messages, and get confidential advice before deciding what to do.
This is general legal information, not legal advice.
You deserve safety. You deserve respect. You deserve to be believed.
08) What if the person is my manager or senior?
Power imbalance matters. You can use alternative reporting routes and seek confidential advice first.

You deserve safety. You deserve respect. You deserve to be believed.
09) They want me to sign an NDA quickly. What should I know?
Don’t sign under pressure. NDAs cannot override criminal law or stop you seeking help. Get it reviewed confidentially before signing.
This is general legal information, not legal advice.
You deserve safety. You deserve respect. You deserve to be believed.
10) I already signed an NDA. Am I trapped?
Not necessarily. Many NDAs cannot lawfully silence criminal reporting, medical support, safeguarding, or legal advice. The wording matters — get it reviewed.
