These guidelines will evolve as the Tackling Loneliness Hub community develops and grows. The guidelines refer to online discussions and using the Tackling Loneliness Hub. You are responsible for familiarising yourself with these guidelines. The moderator [Community Manager] will notify members of any significant updates and changes to the guidelines.
The Tackling Loneliness Hub aims to be home to a wide range of voices, from across sectors and at different levels of involvement in the loneliness agenda. You may find opinions that you disagree with and some that you may find offensive. It is not our intention to censor opinion.
The views expressed on this website do not necessarily reflect the views of the Department for Culture, Media, and Sport, the Campaign to End Loneliness at Sheffield Hallam University, or Neighbourly Lab.
We try to be as fair as we can when moderating content, but in a large community with many different viewpoints, there will always be some people who will not be happy with our moderation policies. While we regret that this happens, we have to make decisions based on what is best for the community overall.
To help create a collaborative space, we have designed opportunities for you to connect, discuss and share your work with other members. We have developed functions within the site for you to do this and there are opportunities to take part in and lead activities. It is only with the involvement of all members that the Hub can flourish.
