We all know that life is a struggle with disabilities, mental health, and other problems without lockdown but even more so with.

This group and Admins even members welcome and incudes everyone with all types of disabilities, mental health, all problems and all those involves in the lives of these people such as parents, families, carers, social workers, support workers, professionals at all levels of training and working, trained, quaiifcated, etc of all walks of life.

Just to say that this group is about the positives as well as the negatives of life.

Just want to say sorry to you for writing in caps so sorry I seem as if I am shouting. Just that this is an important safety message.

SOCIALIZING MAKING FRIENDS ETC ARE ALLOWED BUT PLEASE BE MINDFUL OF POSSIBLE REASONS PEOPLE ARE IN THE GROUP. THIS GROUP IS ABOUT ALL WALKS OF LIFE BUT NOT EVERYONE HAS JOINED FOR THE SAME REASON.

I WISH TO CONTACT BY PM OR AND FRIEND REQUEST PEOPLE YOU DON'T KNOW, PLEASE ASK THEIR PERMISSION FIRST.

SO SORRY IF YOU THINK THAT IS A HASTY RULE BUT WE HAVE FRIENDSHIP GROUPS IN THE PAST AND HAD COMPLAINTS OF PEOPLE BEEN CONTACTED BY THOSE WHO THEY DON'T KNOW AND DON'T WANT TO HEAR FROM.

IF YOU FACE THIS, TRY TO PROVIDE PROOF SO WE DEAL WITH THE PEOPLE WHO HAVE CONTACTED, IF IT'S PEOPLE YOU DON'T WANT TO HEAR FROM.

NOT THE ONES WHO ARE NOT, LET US KNOW YOU FACING A PROBLEM BUT DON'T TO SAY WHAT OR WHO ON THE GROUP ASK FOR AN ADMIN, ADMIN WHO CAN'T DEAL WITH IT.

THEY WILL, THIS IS BECAUSE EACH ADMIN HAS DIFFERENT SKILLS.

ASK ANOTHER OR ME TO PM YOU, PLEASE HAVE PROOF READY.

REMEMBER EVERYONE HAS A CHOICE, THERE IS NO HARM IN WRITING A MESSAGE ON THE GROUP INTRODUCING YOURSELF BUT AS I SAID EVERYONE HAS A CHOICE.

REMEMBER NO ONE IS ONLINE AT THE SAME TIME SO THEY MAY REPLY OR THEY NOT, IF THEY DO, IT MAY BE THE CASE OF, SORRY YOU HAVE TO ACCEPT WHATEVER HAPPENS TO THEIR CHOICE, WHICH MOST LIKELY NOTHING AGAINST YOU.

ADMINS CANNOT NOT FORCE SOMEONE TO REPLY TO YOU IF THEY DON'T OR SAY TO YES TO YOU, IF THEY MEAN NO, WE WON'T CONTROL SOMEONE'S CHOICE.

HOWEVER, IT MAY NOT BE ANYTHING PERSONAL AGAINST, SOME PEOPLE MAY WORRY TO SOCIALIZE FOR THEIR OWN SAFETY ETC OR AND THEY MAY BE PROFESSIONAL ETC WHO WORKS IN THE DISABILITY, CARER, PARENT, MENTAL HEALTH PROBLEMS FIELD SO WON'T BE ON THE GROUP TO SOCIALIZE.

HOWEVER, IF YOU NEED SOME ADVICE SUPPORT ETC, MEMBERS WHO ARE WORKING OR AND STUDYING IN THE DISABILITY, MENTAL HEALTH ALL PROBLEMS FIELD OR OTHERS INVOLVED IN DISABILITY ETC, MAY BE WILLING TO HELP OR US ADMINS.

IF YOU DON'T ANYONE OR AND THE PEOPLE ARE NEEDING OR WANTING TO SPEAK ASK THEM ON THE GROUP, THEY MAY OR MAY NOT REPLY, ALSO ANOTHER REASON FOR NOT REPLY COULD BE THEY MAY NOT HAVE BEEN ONLINE FOR A WHILE.

ON MY WEBSITE THERE ARE CONTACTS OF SERVICES ETC IF NEEDS BE JUST BEAR IN MIND REPLIES MAY BE SLOW ETC DUE TO THE LOCKDOWN AND SOME PLACES MAY NOT BE BACK OPEN YET.

As we are all aware this group is about everything to do with disabilities, mental health or and other problems. Whether you face disabilities, mental health, or any other problem or someone supports people, parent, family, carer, friend, husband, wife, support worker, professional, work, study, etc in the disability, mental health or all problems field.

Please free to write, post, etc anything to do with living with these problems.

service training, trained, qualified to get to chat one another those who may wish, those who may want to learn or and get support off one another or and be there for one another.

Earlier on we blocked someone for trying to add buying and selling posts on the group. Finding out from others where you can buy or and sell things is fine but don't buy and or sell anything on our groups.

No buying or and selling on the group, please.

However, it is fine to post disabilities. mental health and other problems illnesses etc charities, services, etc donations. Do not force anyone to donate, it's down to their choice if they do or not, thank you.

However, if anyone is facing any mental health issues here are some contacts.

Admins are here to help but as I said each of us has different skills and we are not trained for everything. Also, if needs be we try to encourage help one another but ask one another first, don't just pm someone ramdon unless you know them very well and you know for sure they won't mind.

Thank you from Sara creator.

More about the group is our website link attached to this pinned post with the purpose and safety rules please them.

Including contact details of services, charities, etc who are more trained than we such as counseling, etc.

Helpline but plus bear they may be hard to contact due to the lockdown or just a bit slow.

Just one thing I have forgotten but remember that the group is for people who support and care etc for people with disabilities and other problems as well as the person themselves. when it comes to socializing it is for people with disabilities problems. people who and care etc are on here are here to learn about, support people, give advice, etc.

Therefore always find out who people are do not just pm members etc by just seeing their names on the group and don't pm them etc unless you have their permission to do so or if you know each other well to know you are safe with one another.

We also understand that we are not saying everyone but how we communicate with people has slightly changed due to social distancing, which can cause loneliness. However, we know online can be risky but also advantages as well as disadvantages. It may not seem like it but we care about your safety and understand that not everyone knows everyone on the fb. Socializing is allowed but we safely guide it. which is why we have come up with a rule no contacting, pming, etc unless you ask one another's permission to do so, or you know one another or already and you know one another enough to know you both feel safe with one another. Any problems you may face with anyone feel free to report to us. You don't need to say who from or what on the group.

An admin sees your message on the group will either ask you if you want them to pm you or ask another admin to do so, which make sure you have proof of the problem you have faced and the person who has caused it for you, then we will know we are blocking and remove the person in the wrong off the group, not in the right.

We understand that the coronavirus lockdown is affecting a lot of us one way or the other no one can make people talk and no one can make anyone not talk. We understand a lot of us may not know one another on the fb and not want to tell people we don't know things. However just to be aware that keeping things bottled up inside us can increase if it doesn't get sorted but no one can't force anyone.

This doesn't necessarily mean people are facing mental health but never feel alone either. Admins on our team are more than willing to help with what they know but for anyone reason they can't, it won't because they won't they will find someone our team who will and if none of us know we will suggest links, contact details, etc to services, information online, etc. please always ask an Admin's permission if you can pm them before do if they can't they will find someone on the team who can or and they are contact details, etc on either all-out pinned post on this group, our despirtion, or and a website link.

Hi, all how are you all? As you all know this group is about all to do with disabilities, mental health or and other problems in all walks of life, meaning positives as well as negative. If you have any talents etc you will show, feel free to post, share, etc on this group if you wish to. If it's someone else's or and other people's make sure you have their permission first whether they are in the group or not. This could be art, crafts, poetry, drawing, creative writing, painting, etc, all, more.

Sorry to go on If you face PMS off anyone you don't know or and you haven't given them permission if you don't want this person or people to pm you. If they are on our groups or not sure, let one of us know who PMs you it is.

We can check to see if they are in our groups, whether it's a group you on or not. We have 2 music groups and one disabled group and please feel free to provide us proof of any problems they may give your pm or on the groups whether we notice or not. Sorry to ask a lot as we want to block and remove people in the wrong, not in the right.

So we can try and keep everyone safe in the group. Sorry to say we are having to be a little fussy.

If you wish to invite people if you can remember, rather than invite people on Facebook if you can please try to remember to invite people by pm, email, or other ways so they can tell you directly if they want to join or not.

If they do, they will need to request themselves so they can answer the questions, unless they okay to give you the answers, which therefore you could invite by the fb.

To join they must face disabilities, mental health or and other problems, study or and work in disabilities, mental health, or and other problems, be a parent, carer, social worker, support worker, professional, etc. For eg; this could be a disability nurse, someone who supports people with disabilities, mental health, or and other problems in their homes, work, studies, more all other possible things.

From now on we do not accept anyone who tries to scam our groups.

Safety rules around pming, private messaging.

We are just trying to safeguard the group because we have disabled friendship groups in the past, members have reported members who they don't know for pming them without their permission or and making them aware they are going contact them This means Admins as well as members.

All we ask is if you and the person you want to contact don't know one another or not very well ask them first so they are aware.

If the answer is no accept that without rows and asking why, if the person wants to say why that's their choice if they want to do so.

No private messaging Admins for social reasons unless you and Admin or Admins know one another or an Admin gives you permission to do so.

If the reason is to do with groups of people, people on the group always ask the Admin first if you can pm them and unless you both know one another and have given permission already, etc.

If the Admin says they can't or and won't pm you, just say it's to do with the group, it's done with the group or and person people on there, they Admin will then make the team aware, either another Admin will pm you or me as a last result.

The questions

1. have you got disabilities, mental health, or and other problems, if so what?

2. Do you work, study, or and support or are you a parent, or and carer, or other of people or someone who faces disabilities, mental health, or any other problems?

3. Will you follow the safety rules?

4. We are not stopping you from who you want to contact who you want.

5.If anyone does pm any Admin, meaning you have permission one, either or all of us or you know us well to know we won't mind.

6.Please us aware of the group before doing so we can look for your pm or else we could busy and could months maybe yrs till we notice or not at all.

7. Only pm us to do with problems on the group, people on the group, etc, and to make sure we are blocking removing people who have done wrong, we will only do anything if you give us proof you are facing problems with anyone.

8.Unless knowing an Admin well enough and they will let you pm them for other reasons or you have their permission to do so.

With members, if they give permission to do so unless you them well enough to know they won't mind.

9.The reason for this safety guarding because we had a group in the past that members were getting PMS off members reporting members, they didn't know and some they never even spoken to, etc and they were unaware.

10. No judgment, stigma, and discrimination, etc.

11. For your safety and everyones' please do not give your personal details or anyone else's on the for example no home addresses, no email addresses, no phone numbers, no passwords, etc.

Business services, jobs center, etc details are fine but no passwords.

Word of advice what you say to others when pming is none of our business but we advise you to not give out your personal details until you get to know people.

12. No swearing, rowing, rudeness, or any type of nastiness, etc.

13. No porn

14. If you see something written on the group you don't like either report it to us as proof, we will see it sooner later. brower past it, or leave the group, this may depend on what it is, etc to how much is bothering but by all means, we would be grateful if you can report it to us by letting us know, try let us know as soon as poss cause as time goes on posts go down. You don't need to say who wrote and posted whatever it may but if we are aware we will keep on eye things.

If anyone is wanting to pm anyone Admin or member please ask them first if you can, then it makes them aware you want to pm them unless you know them and know them well to know they won't mind.

If it's to do with this group of people on the group, you don't need to say names or what's happened if it's to do with the group or and a person or people on there, just say you need to pm an Admin.

If for any reason the Admin who sees your message on the group can't or won't, they will let the team know, someone will or I will as the last result.

If you are facing a problem with anyone please provide proof ready for whichever one of us PMS you so we are dealing with the right person or and people, who are responsible for doing wrong not people or and the person who haven't done anything wrong.

Then we will decide whether to give them a warning or block them off the group depending on what's happened. Thank you from Sara creator.

Sorry to go on If you face PMS off anyone you don't know or and you haven't given them permission and don't want to hear from people you want to hear off whether you know them or not, please feel free to report them to us as long as can provide proof so we are not dealing with anyone who hasn't done wrong, then we fine to take action, which depending on the situation it could be warning them or blocking the person or people in the wrong off the group.

If they are on our groups or not sure, let one of us know who PMs you it is.

We can check to see if they are in our groups, whether it's a group you on or not.

We have 2 music groups and one disabled group, please feel free to ask us for the link on those if you love your music, etc back in the day to today, then you could request if you wish.

Please feel free to provide us proof of any problems they may give your pm or on the groups whether we notice or not.

Sorry to ask a lot as we want to block and remove people in the wrong, not in the right.

everyone how are we today? Sorry to say sounds harsh but in the last few days we have experienced what we haven't faced before. On our disabled group, a new member's profile disabled. We tried to google to find how to deal with it but it didn't really give us any information other than if Facebook is made aware the person has passed away, we could lose the group we decided to block the member for the safety of the group. Therefore if this happens to you sorry to say delete the disabled profile and start again. Sorry for any innocence this may cause,

Just another awareness if you wish to put our group on other groups we will be most grateful. Not that we have face this before but not saying Admins will or won't accept our group on theirs but we don't want to upset those who won't so please ask the creators of groups permission before putting our group link on as much as we are grateful for the possibility of getting more people here.

Not saying other Group Admins will get on to us but just in case. If the creator doesn't reply ask whichever Admin of their who replies to ask them and wait until the creator can reply to you otherwise don't put our group on theirs,

thank you from Sara creator. https://www.supportline.org.uk/problems/disability/
