SIBYLS MEMBERS SECRET FACEBOOK GROUP

This is a secret Facebook Group to enable the members of Sibyls to share news and information in private with each other.

REMEMBER THAT FOR SOME MEMBERS CONFIDENTIALITY REMAINS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT. DO NOT share or post any photographs or other material which could breach this confidentiality

Any views expressed by group members do not necessarily represent the views of the Sibyls Group or other group members.

The administrators reserve the right to remove any content they consider is inappropriate or offensive or which does not contain a corresponding content warning. If you believe that something is offensive or inappropriate, please report it to an administrator by clicking on the top right hand drop-down menu on the pinned post which appears at the top of the list of posts. You can also send a private message to an administrator.

The nature of conversation online means that often we may sometimes forget to respect one another in the heat of a disagreement. Please take care in whatever you post. Some rules of engagement are given below

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

In order to join the member’s group you must give us some information. We need this to ensure that you are a bona fide member of the Sibyls

RULES OF ENGAGEMENT

MAINTAINING THE CONFIDENTIALITY OF SOME SIBYLS MEMBER IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT

If you join the Group you agree:

· To acknowledge that your own confidentiality depends on every other member of the group keeping it. Sibyls cannot be responsible for maintaining it and if that is breached you must accept the consequences

· Not to post any material in any form (photos, videos or written material etc.), which would breach the confidentiality needed by any member. Remember that this member may only be in the background of a photo

· Not to provide links or other re-directions in your posts which would breach the confidentiality needed by any member

· Not to circulate information about any other member outside the group unless specific permission by that member is given

MODERATION

All posts are moderated. In addition to the normal practices of moderation to remove material which is considered inappropriate or offensive the moderators reserve the right to:

· Take down any post which they consider would breach the confidentiality needed by any Sibyls member

· Take down any post when requested to do so by any other Sibyls member who is concerned that confidentiality and/or privacy may be breached.

· In all of these matters the moderator’s decision is final. No reason may be given

NOTE FOR NEW USERS OF FACEBOOK

If you are new to facebook please read the following carefully:

At present all posts to the Sibyls Secret Facebook Group are moderated before posting. Therefore there may be some delay before your post appears. If we spot any issues over confidentiality we can take action before it is posted, but we cannot guarantee that your confidentiality will not be broken at any time

To open a Facebook account go to https://www.facebook.com/ and follow the instructions

THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION IS RELEVANT TO YOUR FACEBOOK ACCOUNT

As a social media site, by default Facebook automatically makes links to other people who are on Facebook. It then posts information about you on their accounts and suggests you to them as someone they could befriend. The same will also happen to you.

When other people post on your personal Facebook page their posts can include links which may breach your confidentiality

It is possible to open two Facebook accounts. However Facebook does not approve of this: and if it discovers that, it may take one down

If you do want two accounts and decide to open as second Facebook account for use with the Sibyls Facebook Group and transgender issues it is strongly advised that the two groups of Friends you select on each account are kept completely separate. If there is nobody who is a friend on both groups these linkages are less likely to be made.

You can avoid many of these issues by adjusting the privacy settings on your Facebook account

These are issues which people should explicitly consider before having an alter ego on Facebook, or if you are in stealth and confidentiality is to be preserved.

You should therefore consider carefully if a Facebook page is right for you. The Sibyls Email Group can provide an alternative, although today it is much less used

SIBYLS EMAIL GROUP

Sibyls also runs an email group for those who wish to communicate with other members of Sibyls by this means. Once you are registered you will automatically be able to send and receive all emails sent to the group.

Please remember that any member of the group can breach the confidentiality of any other member by forwarding, inadvertently, or otherwise any email sent by a member to other members to anyone else who is outside the group.

In order to register separately for this email group (and not for Facebook) you will need to send an email to the Sibyls. If the email address you are using is not the same as that which is registered with the Sibyls you must give details of your membership which can be matched to our records. This is so that verification can be provided. You can send this email by clicking on the link below.

Alternatively please email enquiries@sibyls.co.uk independently if your preferred email programme fails to load. Please include "Registration for Sibyls Group Email List" in the subject line of your email and provide membership details as described above.
