Is the call confidential?
Yes. We do not contact your regulator or your employer about anything you tell us, and we have no reporting relationship with any regulator. You do not need to give the details of your case: the name of your regulator and the heading of the concern are enough.
Is this legal advice?
No. The call is guidance on remediation and on which courses fit the concern raised. For legal advice on your case, speak to your defence organisation, your indemnity provider or a regulatory solicitor.
