Expert Insights & Analysis from Professor Georgina Heydon, RMIT University

We recently sat down with Professor Georgina Heydon from RMIT University, a leading expert in police interviewing, language use and forensic linguistics, to discuss the future of anonymous reporting platforms.

In this series of videos, Professor Heydon reveals what made Safe2Say stand out in her research as the best model for online reporting. The game-changer? Our platform’s unique ability to maintain complete anonymity while enabling crucial two-way communication with professionals.

“What we were really excited about when we looked at Safe2Say was that it offered this opportunity to solve that problem because you’ve got the capacity to have a two-way interactive chat with a professional at the other end while still maintaining anonymity.”

This breakthrough addresses a critical gap that Georgina identified in her research – the conflict between wanting to report anonymously and needing a response and support.
