Young people with HF Autism to participate in an awareness film clip

Dear Parents,

***EDITED 26.07.14*** 

Forum user Longman has pointed out that we need to obtain NAS apporoval before we invite parents and their children to take part in our film shoot on Friday 1st August. We are therefore removing the information about our plans and hope that we can contact the NAS forum Moderators over the weekend.

If anyone has any questions please don't hesitate to get in touch Smile

  • Could I also ask then, since you are willing to explain things clearly, whether you obtained permission from the NAS moderators to post this request?

    Also, could I ask, please, the reason for posting after 6pm on a Friday night, when it is less likely that the Moderators would be on hand to intercept? If you are genuine wouldn't it be more appropriate to post during a weekday within normal working hours? Asking to film children and posting the request at the start of a weekend, seems to me, if you'll forgive my suspicious narure, not in keeping with the assurances you gave.

    I ask because this discussion forum is intended as a safe place. Part of that safety involves the moderators vetting such requests. Perhaps you have obtained permission, but usually there would be something on the posting to show us NAS has approved. The procedure is explained in the rules and guidelines.

    However many assurances you make, and however emotive the way you state your case, people on here need to feel that the Moderators are ensuring that properly vetted people make such requests.

    You are asking to film 6-16 year olds. You may well say that you will involve the parents, but I do feel you need to be more convincing. This is a very important issue.
