How we keep this safe

Help you can
feel good about.

Every helper is checked before they can accept a job, and anyone working with a child or vulnerable adult clears an enhanced DBS check first.

Vetting

Two tiers of checks, matched to the risk.

Trust should not be something you have to dig for, whether you are booking or helping.

Standard verification

Every helper

Identity check and right to work confirmation before anyone can accept a single job. Covers general household work: cleaning, errands, gardening, shopping, laundry.

Enhanced DBS

Safeguarding tier

Required for childcare, babysitting and Buddy or companion work. That work stays locked until the check clears. No exceptions and no shortcuts.

Day to day

What protects you on every booking.

Profiles you can read first

See who you are booking, what they offer and what they are checked for.

Reviews after the job

Ratings and written reviews from people who actually booked them.

Transparent pricing

The price is agreed and shown before you confirm. See pricing.

Secure payments

Card payments are processed by Stripe. Helpcona never sees your card details.

Photo proof

Confirmation that the work is done, so you are not left guessing.

If something goes wrong

Raise a dispute in the app and a real person reviews what happened.

Your data

What we hold, and what we do not.

Shared only with the person doing the job

A helper sees the task details and the address once they are assigned. Your contact details are not browsable by other users.

Yours to take back

You can delete your account from inside the app. The full detail is in our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service.

Still unsure

Ask us before you book.

If there is something you want to check first, ask. A person reads every email.

You do not have to do it all

Whatever is on your mind, tell Helpcona.
