Carecircle is a safe and supportive space, and it’s up to all of us to make sure it stays this way. We want any discussion on Carecircle to remain compassionate, non-discriminatory and lawful, so we’ve put a few straightforward rules and guidelines in place. Thank you for helping to create this incredible community.
Respect each other
Carecircle is a global network, and we’re proud of how diverse our community is. Like any community, it thrives when people treat each other with respect. Everyone is welcome here; it is a safe space free from any hateful or discriminatory words or behaviour. We’ll always delete any comments or posts that hurt or disrespect any other members.
Help, don’t harm
Carecircle is a safe space where people can share their deepest worries and celebrate their journey to wellness. Our members gift their knowledge and experience to each other to provide support and help to our community.
Our mission is to lift up people everywhere and everyone who contributes to that is welcome. Those that wish to promote content related to criminal behaviour, extremism, violence, terrorism or harm of any kind are not welcome in the Carecircle family. Content that is sexual or sexist in nature, or is offensive or discrimatory to our members will be deleted. Carecircle is fiercely independent and any content that is designed to promote sales or services, junk posts, phishing scams or spam chains doesn’t help our members and is not allowed.
Let’s keep everything safe, tolerant and compassionate.
Contributing with Integrity
Our community works so well because we all share our lived experiences. The Carecircle culture of openness and honesty is what enables us to help each other. Think carefully before you post: is your comment true and accurate? If you’re sharing someone else’s content, have you checked that it’s not misleading or incorrect? It’s also easy to exaggerate, even accidentally. Always pause before you post.
Remember why we’re here
While it’s easy to go off on a tangent or start a whole new conversation, Carecircle has a very specific purpose. We come here to share our healthcare journeys, so it’s really important to keep discussions relevant. We’re definitely not the place where you can find a romantic partner, promote products & services, or network for business contacts (there are plenty of other platforms for that).
Be aware of what you share
Carecircle members are amazing: they share such personal and sensitive information, often for the benefit of others. To keep this space feeling safe, it’s essential that what’s said on Carecircle stays on Carecircle. Please don’t copy or link to anything from our network, and never share anyone’s words without their explicit agreement. It works the other way, too: try not to share content here without the owner’s permission.
