Answer 1

Assalamualaikum wr wb

There are 6 cases in which you can talk about a person in their absence.

1. Complaining (feedback) to a person of authority.
2. Seeking help in changing an evil and turning evils to that which is correct: An example of this is if someone witnesses a person drinking alcohol and then he mentions that to his guardian seeking to correct him and assist in prohibiting evil.
3. Seeking a religious ruling (fatwa)
4. Warning the Muslim ummah
5. Of an evil being committed openly by someone
6. For identification of person who is known by a nickname.

The first two will fall into your category.

Hope this helps and Allah knows best.
