Community guidelines

This forum is for adults

You must be 18 or over to hold an account or post. We do not create accounts for children, and we ask you not to post on a child's behalf as though you were them. This is deliberate: an open forum is not a safe place for children to talk to strangers, and we would rather be useful to parents than expose learners to that risk.

Anyone can read the forum. Only adults can post.

Protect other people's children, including your own

• Do not post a child's full name, school year and school together.
• Do not post photographs of children.
• Do not post anything that identifies a named child as struggling, diagnosed or excluded.
• Do not ask anyone to contact you privately about a child.

There is no private messaging on this forum, by design. If someone asks you to move a conversation about a child somewhere private, report it.

Be useful

• Give the detail others need: year group, region, what you already tried.
• Answer the question that was asked.
• Disagree with the argument, not the person.
• Say when you are not sure. A guess presented as fact wastes someone's time.

Not allowed

• Advertising, referral links, or promoting your own tutoring or products.
• Sharing or requesting copyrighted exam papers or paid material.
• Naming and shaming individual teachers, pupils or families.
• Medical, legal or financial advice presented as professional advice.
• Abuse, harassment, or hostility towards any group.

How moderation works

Posts from new members are checked before they appear, usually for the first couple of posts only. Every post has a report button. Moderators can remove a post, close a discussion, or suspend an account. We will not always explain a decision publicly, because doing so often makes things worse for the person involved.

If someone is at risk

This forum cannot help in an emergency and is not monitored around the clock. If a child is at immediate risk, contact the police or your local authority safeguarding team. If you are worried about a child, the NSPCC helpline is available to adults in the UK.
