What taking part involves

Seven things, stated before you decide rather than after. They apply whether you use the tools once or stay involved for a year.

Nothing you send publishes on its own

A correction, a flag, or a note enters a human review queue. A reviewer compares the claim against evidence. Conflicts and unknowns stay visible on the site until evidence supports a change — being told something is not the same as being able to publish it.

You are not the database maintainer

Flag what you happen to notice. There is no quota, no queue assigned to you, and no expectation that you keep anything current. If you stop, nothing breaks.

You get an answer back

When you flag something specific, No One Left Outside researches it and writes back with what it found — including when the answer is that nothing could be confirmed. Reporting into silence is why most feedback channels die.

Never send client information

No names, dates of birth, case numbers, health details, or legal narratives about the people you support. If a report needs an example, describe the route that failed, not the person it failed. No One Left Outside will delete client information it receives and tell you it did.

Participation is not a credential or a relationship

Taking part is not employment, certification, endorsement, accreditation, supervision, or a partnership between No One Left Outside and your employer, and it does not make you a No One Left Outside representative. Nothing here changes your obligations to your own organisation.

No One Left Outside does not promise outcomes

Eligibility, availability, acceptance, placement, and timing are decided by the organisations that run those programmes. No One Left Outside shows what a source said and when it was checked. It is not emergency services and does not replace coordinated entry, 211, HMIS, or your agency's protocols.

You can stop at any time

Reply to any message and ask to be removed. It happens without a reason being requested. Anything you have already contributed to the public record stays part of the evidence trail, because a source check cannot be un-checked, but it is not attributed to you unless you asked for credit.

How the tools handle data is covered in the frontline network privacy note.
