Carers Community Rules
We want everyone to enjoy using our discussion boards and chatroom, so we have put together some guidelines to ensure that you feel safe and comfortable as a member of our carers' community.
Please bear in mind that this community is for adult carers (i.e. 19 and over) who look after a family member, partner or friend. If you are 18 years and under, please go to our site for young carers, YCNet, which also has a discussion board and chat room, supervised by our team of online support workers; Sam, Ewan, Claudia and Susannah.
Guidelines
- Keep the messages relevant to the discussion topic
- Don't use bad language, which includes language that someone else may think is racist or sexist
- Respect everyone's right to an opinion, even if you disagree
- Guard your own confidentiality; don't post your real name, address, telephone number or your email address on a message
- Please don't post messages that can be deemed as commercial advertising, as these will be removed
- Any message which constitutes a personal attack against anyone, on any grounds, will be immediately removed and a warning will be issued to the user
- Respect the privacy of other users
- The information posted is not normally moderated, so please do not use these facilities inappropriately
- Any statements or opinions posted onto the site are those of the person posting them alone and are in no way endorsed by Carers Trust
- We reserve the right to remove any message or topic, which we deem to be unsuitable for our community.
We will evaluate any messages that break these rules on a case by case basis. If your message is found to have broken these rules you will be given a warning, after three warnings you will be banned.
We also reserve the right to delete a user's registration if he/she fails to follow the guidelines as detailed above.
Please report any abuse immediately to our Online Support Team
