Forum Rules

Carers of East Lothian’s mission is to support all adults in a caring situation in East Lothian to get information and services to help their individual caring role, enhance their own wellbeing and strengthen their collective voice to improve services.

The aim of our forum is support carers to support each other and themselves through online peer support opportunities. Our forum helps us meet the following outcome:

  • Carers are supported to maintain their own physical, emotional, and mental wellbeing

Our forum is grouped into different subject areas we think are relevant for carers, including protected space for each of our carer groups. If you think anything is missing, please let us know.

To make sure everyone gets the most out of our forum, we ask everyone to stick to our forum rules:

  • When you join our forum, your first few posts will be pre-moderated. This means they will only become visible to others once a forum moderator has read them.
  • Please try to post in the most relevant sub-forum. Messages posted in the wrong subject area will be moved by our moderators to the most relevant sub-forum.
  • The main aim of the forum is to support carers to support each other and themselves. Please bear this in mind when you are posting, and show respect and care for your fellow forum users.
  • Whilst our forum is a supportive space, please remember that it is not a place to seek expert advice, and do be mindful of what information you share about yourself and your situation.
  • If you are concerned about any posts / comments, please report these to our moderators using the report button ().
  • If you have care-related items to sell / offer to other carers (eg riser recliner chair), please post on the relevant sub-forum [insert name here, once agreed]. No other selling is allowed, and nor is any spamming or advertising.
  • Finally, no illegal posts, including hate speech of any kind, and no personal attacks.

Posts / comments that do not follow our forum rules will be deleted and forum users who repeatedly break our forum rules will be banned.
