Our Twitter policy
If you follow us on Twitter we will not automatically follow you back. We place importance upon our role to signpost other agencies and organisations relevant to our work to our followers - our rationalised ‘following’ list helps facilitate this. There are occasions when we may follow individuals, but this does not imply endorsement of any kind.
Availability
We will update and monitor our Twitter account as often as we can.
However, most updates will be posted during the peak usage times - when followers, and our own staff, are most active. This is between 8am - 8pm Monday to Friday.
Twitter may occasionally be unavailable and we accept no responsibility for lack of service due to Twitter downtime.
@Replies and Direct Messages
We welcome feedback and ideas from all our followers. However, we are not always able to reply individually to the messages and comments we receive via Twitter.
We will read @replies and will ensure that any emerging themes or helpful suggestions are passed to the relevant people and responded to wherever possible.
Our aim is to respond to individuals within 48 hours, however at times, for example during weekends, this may not be possible.
The usual ways of contacting us for official correspondence are detailed in the contact us section of our website.
Hashtags (#)
We are not responsible for the hashtag or tweets from other users who use the hashtag. We do not endorse other users who use the hashtag and we are not responsible for the content that they write.
Any feedback or suggestions, please email us
