- Keep it friendly
- Be courteous and respectful. Appreciate that others may have an opinion different from yours
- Refrain from demeaning, discriminatory, or harassing behaviour and speech
- Stay on topic. When creating a new discussion thread, give a clear topic title and put your post in the appropriate category. When contributing to an existing discussion, try to stay ‘on topic’. If something new comes up within a topic that you would like to discuss, start a new thread
- Share your knowledge – it’s likely someone will find it useful or interesting. When you give factual information or share resources, provide your sources
We maintain the rights to remove posts and threads to ensure that material posted in the discussion forums is not potentially harmful. For this reason, we may edit or choose not to publish any post, that:
- contains disrespectful or derogatory remarks about any person

- contains offensive language, is nonsensical and/or irrelevant
- promotes personal beliefs in a way that is disrespectful of the choices of others
- is racist, sexist, homophobic, sexually explicit, or suggestive, abusive, or otherwise discriminatory or objectionable
- does not relate to End of Life Doula matters or death and dying
Our moderators are there to ensure that these guidelines are followed, and posts that do not comply may be deleted without warning at their discretion. Failure to adhere to these guidelines or the EoLDUK Code of Practice may result in a removal from the forum.
