Quick Exit
The quick exit button allows you to leave a webpage immediately. It may be useful if you do not want someone else to see what you are looking at.

On our website, there is a quick exit link in the navigation bar at the top of the screen. There are also quick exit buttons used throughout this website on pages with sensitive content. If you click on the quick exit link or button, it will take you to Google and close the Nillumbik Youth website.
