Community guidelines

We need the Academy to be a safe and respectful space for users, especially because we are covering difficult or sensitive subjects. So, when you chat or share information in the Academy, please follow these guidelines:

  • No defamatory, indecent, offensive, profane, discriminatory, misleading, unlawful or threatening comments.
  • Personal attacks, name-calling, trolling and abuse will not be tolerated.
  • Spamming, posting promotional material or posting links to third party websites that are not aligned with these guidelines, is not permitted.
  • We reserve the right to delete any comments that do not adhere to these guidelines at our discretion and block any repeat offenders. We will remove content that is offensive, fraudulent, deceptive or misleading.
  • Treat others with respect, in the knowledge that other people have had different life experiences and may have different perspectives to yours. We welcome different viewpoints, expressed respectfully.
  • The Academy is a public place. Do not post personal information that you would not be comfortable sharing with a stranger. We recommend that you do not post any information that may identify you or anyone else, such as address, email address or phone number – or any other information.
  • Please do not upload files to the system.

We will normally provide warnings to people before removing them, but serious breaches of these guidelines may result in immediate removal.

If you are aware of someone who is not adhering to these guidelines, please let us know by emailing us at academy@hivjustice.net.

Our Safeguarding policy is available at: https://www.hivjustice.net/about/policies/. This includes information about who to contact should you have any concerns about how you, or others, have been treated in the Academy.
