Terms & Conditions

Working online is challenging and often we have no control over much of what is said in social media posts.  Our aim is to offer a safe online experience this includes all our social media platforms plus all three of our websites therefore, we need to be careful of the answers we give.  We ask our members, supporters, and followers to refrain from posting until you have time to think through your answers before posting.  Our focus is advocacy, education, friendship, learning from one another, positivity, and support. 

​

We have evolved into our own Community online and we are fortunate to be invited to events in our local community therefore these terms and conditions will apply for all L-W-O Community activities.
