Last updated: 7 May 2026
PanicStation.org provides general information only.
The site is designed to help readers slow down, avoid common mistakes, and identify practical next steps in stressful everyday situations. It is not a substitute for emergency help, legal advice, medical advice, financial advice, counselling, technical support, casework, advocacy, or other professional advice.
Not an emergency service
PanicStation.org is not an emergency service.
If someone is in immediate danger, if a crime or serious incident is happening now, or if urgent medical help is needed, contact the relevant emergency service for your location.
Do not delay seeking emergency help because of something you have read on PanicStation.org.
Not legal advice
Some PanicStation.org guides discuss legal processes, official notices, police contact, employment issues, housing problems, consumer issues, court papers, detention facilities, or other law-related situations.
These guides are general information only. They do not create a lawyer-client relationship and are not a substitute for advice from a qualified legal professional, legal aid provider, union representative, adviser, advocate, court help service, or other appropriate specialist.
Laws, deadlines, procedures, and local practices vary by jurisdiction. If your situation could affect your liberty, immigration status, housing, employment, finances, family responsibilities, safety, or legal rights, seek appropriate professional advice.
Not medical or mental health advice
Some PanicStation.org guides discuss health worries, injury concerns, emotional overwhelm, bereavement, panic, sexual violence, suspected assault, safeguarding or protective-services concerns, or other sensitive situations.
These guides are general information only. They are not medical advice, mental health advice, diagnosis, treatment, counselling, therapy, safeguarding or protective-services advice, crisis support, or emergency help.
If you may need urgent medical help, contact the appropriate emergency, urgent care, poison, mental health crisis, maternity, or local health service for your location.
Not financial advice
Some PanicStation.org guides discuss banking, bills, refunds, wages, benefits, debt, fraud, insurance, or consumer problems.
These guides are general information only. They are not financial advice, debt advice, tax advice, benefits advice, insurance advice, investment advice, or regulated advice.
If a decision could affect your money, credit, housing, benefits, employment, or legal position, contact an appropriate qualified adviser, regulator, ombudsman, union, charity, or professional service.
Not professional casework or advocacy
PanicStation.org cannot act on your behalf.
The site cannot contact employers, landlords, banks, police, courts, government bodies, healthcare providers, schools, prisons, transport companies, platforms, family members, or other organisations for you.
If you need someone to represent you, advocate for you, manage a case, or intervene directly, contact an appropriate professional, adviser, union, charity, support service, advocate, or official body.
Accuracy and completeness
PanicStation.org aims to publish clear and useful information, but the site may contain errors, omissions, outdated information, broken links, or guidance that does not fit your specific circumstances.
Rules, services, deadlines, contact routes, and official processes can change. Local procedures may also differ.
Use PanicStation.org guides as a starting point, not as a final authority.
Jurisdiction
PanicStation.org guides may be written for a specific jurisdiction, such as the UK or the United States.
Make sure you are reading the guide that applies to your situation. A guide written for one country may not apply in another country, and may not apply in every state, region, city, workplace, service, or organisation.
External links
PanicStation.org may link to external websites, including government departments, regulators, public services, charities, ombudsmen, support organisations, courts, transport providers, healthcare services, and other resources.
External links are provided for convenience and context. PanicStation.org does not control external websites and is not responsible for their content, accuracy, availability, privacy practices, policies, or changes.
A link to an external website does not mean PanicStation.org endorses everything on that website.
Your responsibility

If you are unsure, pause before acting and contact a qualified professional, official service, specialist charity, advocate, union, regulator, ombudsman, emergency service, or other appropriate source of help.
