This is a petition to show everyones support for the wonderful charity: Off the Record Off The Record is a registered charity and and has been supporting young people from Havant, Portsmouth and the surrounding areas since 1977. It is an independent organisation not to be confused with other agencies across the country that may have a similar name. Local volunteers offer all the support to young people. They all work within an ethical framework for volunteers using counselling skills as well as Youth Access guidelines of good practice and Hampshire County child protection policy. Off The Record welcomes any young person in difficulty, whatever their circumstances, and each year receives approximately 7,000 contacts from young people. All counselling takes place at one of our two bases. We never offer counselling at home and don't offer counselling to couples together. Off The Record supports equal opportunities in all aspects of its service delivery and treatment of others - Off The Record believes that all people have the right to be treated fairly and without prejudice irrespective of their gender, race, colour, nationality, ethnic origin, religion, class, age, gender, sexual orientation, marital status, HIV status, ability, appearance or size.
