Exit this page
Give users a way to quickly and safely exit a service, website or application.
When to use this component
Use the component on pages with sensitive information that could:
- put someone at risk of abuse or retaliation
- reveal someone's plans to avoid or escape from harm
For example, when a potential victim is using a service to help them leave a domestic abuser.
You can use this component on either:
- all the pages in a service
- parts of the journey with sensitive information
Other situations and topics where sensitive information could put users at risk might include:
- rape or sexual assault
- child abuse and neglect
- any other type of abuse
- stalking and harassment
- reporting crime or fraud (whistleblowing)
When not to use this component
Do not use this component if the service or content is unlikely to put a user at risk.
Keep in mind that seeing this component might discourage certain users from using your service. If the user does not identify themselves as being at risk, they might see the button on a service and decide it's not relevant to them.
