Get SAFE: Citizen Investigator’s Pathway

Clear steps. Calm support. Before anything goes legal.

What is the Citizen Investigator’s Pathway?

The Citizen Investigator Pathway is a simple, structured way to help you take control after financial harm.

It’s designed for people who have been ignored, dismissed, or overwhelmed — and need help making sense of what’s happened before deciding what to do next.

We help you:

  • organise your information

  • understand what matters

  • communicate clearly and safely

  • stay steady while you do it

 

This is pre-legal support.
No pressure. No confrontation. No jargon.

What this is — and what it isn’t

This is support and empowerment.


It is not legal advice or legal representation.

We don’t act as lawyers.


We don’t give legal opinions.


We don’t tell you what to do.

We help you get clear, organised, and prepared, so you’re not facing the system alone or confused.

Who this is for

This pathway is for:

  • people harmed by financial exploitation or institutional failure

  • people being ignored by firms, regulators, or complaints bodies

  • people supporting a loved one through this

  • anyone who needs structure before taking next steps

 

You don’t need legal knowledge.
You don’t need confidence.
You don’t need to be “good with tech”.

We meet you where you are.

How it works (three calm steps)

1. One place for everything

 

You get access to a ready-made Notion workspace.

This becomes your calm control centre — one place for:

  • what happened

  • when it happened

  • key documents

  • important emails and letters

 

Nothing scattered. Nothing lost.

2. Your evidence, organised

 

You also get a simple folder structure for Google Drive.

This helps you:

  • store documents clearly

  • keep things labelled and searchable

  • share safely if you ever need to

 

No more digging through inboxes or folders.

3. Clear, calm communication

 

When emotions run high, messages can get ignored.

We show you how to use AI safely and ethically to:

  • write clear, professional letters

  • explain what’s happened without emotion taking over

  • ask for specific, reasonable action

 

AI helps with clarity — not legal arguments.

What people usually gain

  • Clarity — things finally make sense

  • Confidence — you’re no longer guessing

  • Grounding — less panic, more control

  • Voice — you’re heard more clearly

This isn’t about fighting.
It’s about being steady, prepared, and taken seriously.

Important note about AI

AI is a tool — not an authority.

At Get SAFE:

  • we don’t use AI to give legal advice

  • we don’t create legal arguments or citations

  • we don’t pretend AI replaces professionals

  • We encourage checking facts and seeking legal advice only if and when you choose to.

 

Your safety comes first.
