AEIOU Foundation’s social media community guidelines

We use this page to raise awareness and promote positive discussion about early intervention for children with autism. We welcome you to be part of the conversation, keeping in mind this platform needs to remain a supportive environment for all involved. As such, we have some guidelines in place to ensure all discussions are fair and appropriate for our community. Please review these guidelines before you jump into the dialogue and as they say; if in doubt, don’t post it! If you have an enquiry outside the scope of this page, please email communications@aeiou.org.au

A note on privacy

As a children’s organisation, privacy is our main priority. Please do not post any personal information which might identify either yourself or another person, child, family or staff member. In addition, any reference to claims against a child or a staff member working with our children will be immediately removed from the site and you will be asked to make contact with us in person. If you have something important to discuss with us, please do so via the correct channels such as your Centre Manager or Central Office.
