Anonymous messaging may allow you to:
- Provide more information.
- Answer questions about the report.
- Ask questions.
- Receive information or updates where appropriate.
- Access advice and support while remaining anonymous.
Save your 16 character access code
Important
If you opt into anonymous messaging, you will receive a unique 16 character access code after submitting the report. Save it securely. The code is the only way to return to your report and access messages. NESCol cannot recover, reset or replace it if it is lost.
When will messages be reviewed?
Messages are reviewed during College working hours (Monday - Thursday 8.30am to 5pm and 8.30am to 3.45pm Friday) and are not monitored continuously. You will need to return to the messaging portal using your access code to check for a response.
If you lose your code
