Board - Keeping safe on the message board
We want to ensure that everyone who uses this message board
is kept safe from harm, exploitation or abuse. We know that
the vast majority of you will use the Board to give and
receive support from other people like yourselves. However,
there may be people who visit this site to try and gain
information about users for their own purposes. We want to
protect you from abuse and exploitation. That is why we will
not publish your e-mail address or any other information
that may identify you to other users.
Sometimes it is easy to forget that it won’t only be your
friends on the Board that will be reading your message but
lots of other people. So remember, if you wouldn’t want a
complete stranger to know some information about you, then
don’t post it.
This is why we will edit messages and remove information
that we think may identify you to others (even people you
feel you have got to know really well on the Board).
We lock the Forum to the general public to offer Carers
protection and a secure place to discuss their caring
situation with other Carers. Everyone needs to be a member
to view or post messages, and are asked to abide by the
Forum rules.
We have written a comprehensive set of rules which will tell
you what you can and can’t post on the Board. This is our
way of ensuring that the Board remains a space where you
will be safe from exploitation but where you can find
friendship and support. |
