TELLSAFE FOR CHURCHES
Anonymous feedback for churches
People may hesitate to raise concerns in a community where worship, friendships, and volunteering overlap. Offer a private way to share what is working and what needs attention.
Where the conversation starts
Congregation feedback
Invite input on accessibility, gatherings, communication, and how newcomers experience your community.
Volunteer experience
Hear about workload, role clarity, and concerns that may be hard to raise with a team leader.
A clear reporting route
Help people reach designated reviewers privately, alongside your existing safeguarding and emergency procedures.
A private concern can become a useful conversation.
With Anonymous Relay mode, organizers can ask for details and share an update. The member can answer back while their relay email address stays hidden from the organizer. A plain anonymous submission is also available when they prefer no reply.
Illustrative conversation
Member: I want to volunteer, but I feel pressured to take more shifts than I can manage.
Organizer: Thank you for telling us. Which part of the scheduling process would you like us to change?See how the two-way relay works
Frequently asked questions
How can churches invite honest member feedback?
Explain who will read feedback, provide a private channel, and share general improvements that came from member input without exposing private reports.
Can church volunteers ask questions anonymously?
Yes. Anonymous Relay mode supports an ongoing exchange with designated organizers while keeping the member's relay address hidden from them.
Does TellSafe replace safeguarding or mandatory reporting?
No. Follow your safeguarding policy and applicable reporting duties. TellSafe is a feedback channel, not an emergency service or a substitute for contacting authorities.
