A record written at the time is recognised evidence, and police encourage people experiencing abuse to keep one. The Journal is where you make and keep your own: the significant moments, and the ordinary days too, because the good and less bad days help show what the bad ones were really like. It stays encrypted and private, and whether it is ever shown to anyone is always your decision.
Write what happened, then add what supports it. Each entry keeps the time it was written, where you were, and whether it has been changed since.

Not everything you write is for anyone else. You choose which of two lanes each entry goes in. Both are kept to the same standard: the time it was written never changes, and if you edit an entry later, the original words are kept.
Thoughts, feelings and the ordinary days, written for yourself. Private entries are never shared with anyone in your Trusted Circle.
Incidents and the record you may need to rely on. Evidential entries are the ones you can share with a solicitor, an IDVA or another trusted contact, if you give them access to your journal.
When you can’t stop to write, Sivolo makes the evidential entry for you.
Every Crisis Capture is sealed into your Journal as an evidential entry, with its audio and location trail.
