The words to use

Limited promise: Promising not to gossip, while saying you cannot stay silent if anyone is at risk, and that you would tell them first.
Self-reporting: The person raises the problem with their tutor, supervisor or school themselves. It shows insight and keeps them in charge of what happens next.
Student fitness to practise: A medical school process for serious concerns about a student's conduct, health or professionalism. A health condition alone is not a fitness to practise issue if the student gets help.
NHS Practitioner Health: A free, confidential, self-referral mental health and addiction service for NHS staff in England, first set up for doctors and dentists.
