House Rules
We want everyone to enjoy using the Discussion Boards and Chat Rooms. These rules are to help make sure everyone can enjoy themselves safely:
Don't use bad language. You can't use swear words, racist or sexist words or bullying language on YCNet.
Respect everyone's right to an opinion. It is okay to disagree with someone, but not okay to attack them.
Keep personal information personal. Never try to tell anyone:
- your real name
- where you live
- your phone number
- your email address or messenger details
REMEMBER: you can never know that someone on a website is who they appear to be. These rules are to keep you safe from the small number of adults out there who pretend to be young people.
If you try to break these rules in a chat session we will stop you from using the chat session and we may ban you from using the site.
If you try to post a message on our message boards that break these rules, we will edit it or delete it. We don't have a way of telling people why their message has not been posted.
Messages and chat posted by users on this site are in no way endorsed by The Princess Royal Trust for Carers.
Please report any abuse immediately to youngcarers@carers.org. Get in touch with us whenever a message or something on a chat session worries you or makes you suspicious.
Is this site confidential?
Normally, we keep any personal information you give us private and don't pass it on to anyone else. We wouldn't even think of trying to help you against your wishes unless we were very concerned about someone's safety. But if you tell us something which gives us a good reason to think that someone is at risk or in danger, we may have to tell another organisation about it to get help for that person.
We keep a confidential record of the questions and other messages that are emailed to us. These records are usually erased after one year.
What info does this site store about me?
This site logs your IP address automatically when you visit us. This site uses "cookies" for collecting user information. It does not collect any information about you except the information we need to run the site. If you register for our Newsletter, your information will be held on a secure server and it will not be shared with any other organisations. It will be used only to send you emails about the site.
By choosing to use this website you consent to these rules
