I'm afraid not. We're still looking at the question of a private message system, but it's been hard working out how to build in adequate protection for the users. There have been staffing changes that have affected this, too.
We'll do what we can to keep you informed.
Regards,

Personally, I would still be careful what you divulge in an email to someone you don't know from any forum. Personal information like your full name, mobile phone number and especially home address are the sort of things you shouldn't really tell anyone unless you are sure of who you're talking to.
My opinion, perhaps a moderator will step in if I'm wrong in any of what I've said.
No, that's almost all right - especially the bit about why we ask you not to give out your personal data.
The only thing is that the 'email' icon lets you send a link to the page it's on - in this case, the user profile - to someone else; it doesn't connect to the user's own email at all.

Hi everyone,
Just a quick reminder of rule #3:
Do not include personal information or ask others for personal information in messages. This includes names, addresses, emails or phone numbers. This is to protect your privacy.
Thanks,

Both my little ones are down , gonna tell the teenager its time for laptop off soon so will prob get a thats not fair or 5 more minutes lol
With Ben (3 1/2 ) we have had 2 appointsments with the peaditrician the last one on monday she gave us forms to fill out in depth think that is to get the ball rolling for him to be accessed for autisum and we have to send that back, so will do that over the weekend...
She has also going to get in touch with the nursery senco and speech and lauguage so they can observe him... She did say that we would get another appointment in January with her..
Evening all ,one out of my 4 are in bed !! I'm in southampton

The final diagnoses appointment we had last Wednesday was after nearly 2 years of appointments assessments interviews and observations

Once they had decided he needed. A full assessment I waited 6 months for the first appointment and the assessment was in 4 parts
two of them involved my son one of them was a very lengthily interview with me and the final one was the results
