Respect the other person’s decision and do not try to bypass their block
Use a different, legitimate communication channel if appropriate, such as email or messaging
Contact them only if it is necessary and welcome
Ask a mutual contact to pass along a message, if appropriate
Wait and try again later only if they have not asked for no contact
If it is urgent, contact emergency services or the appropriate authority instead
If you believe the block was accidental, send one polite message through another channel asking to confirm
If they want no contact, do not attempt to reach them again
