Upsetting or self-harm content on the forum

[ALUK_Nurses]

Hi Everyone,

I am posting this because we regretfully had to remove a recent post(s) that implied the need for medical help.

Although a huge level of support and advice exists in this community, it is anonymous, online and not professional in nature.

In a critical situation, anonymous online advice carries the risk of misjudgement and harm, however well intentioned.

We have to stick to our rule of taking down this type of post for the safety of the whole community.

We have contacted the member(s) with advice and contact details for services that can provide the appropriate level of support for their situation.

Should you read something on the forum that concerns you please don’t hesitate to report this by using the report button under the post. If it is self-harm content you can choose to report it as this. (see link below)

Reporting helps us to respond in a timely manner.

Thank you all for your incredible support and kindness on the forum.

Claire and The AUK Team
