Rules of engagement

Our social media channels are intended to be a forum to share ideas and opinions. We monitor interactions with our social media channels and welcome suggestions and feedback. We aim to respond to comments within a reasonable time frame.

Formal requests, enquiries, complaints or comments can be made via the contact or feedback page on our website.

We encourage two-way conversation via social media with a few simple rules:

• we reserve the right to address factual errors.
• we will reply to comments when appropriate.
• posts that contain personal information such as email addresses, phone numbers and physical addresses that do not belong to the author of the post will be deleted.
• you may not post anything that is spam or that is abusive, profane, or defamatory toward a person, entity, belief, or symbol.
• posts, comments or messages that are not aligned to our Values may be deleted.
• while we support lively, open discussion, we reserve the right to delete comments at our discretion.

In addition to our Rules of Engagement, all users must comply with the social media provider’s Terms of Use.
