Changes. Personal information taking
They have shut down the group to reviews, they have taken on board the safe guarding issues.
I am eager to see what changes they make.
I have one issues they said to continue the groups they wanted everyone’s GP information so they can contact the GP to see if you are capable of being apart of WhatsApp groups. This is disturbing.
In the last message they did mention about receiving “personal details” from members.
They are not qualified to take this type of information in any way, this is very strange.
Please don’t give them personal information or the “right” to contact your GP
This is still not a legitimate service backed or funded by government or the NHS
Highly distressing to think of someone claiming to posses the power to have this information on you

Hi Sara, thanks for the review. Were you aware that Safeguarding involves ensuring the person you are safeguarding has a say, an option in what you are suggesting.
To allow me to safeguard and ensure the safty of the people within the community, I would need information to enable me to contact the local authorities to raise conserns.
At that time, I was suggesting a posible way forward.
Thinking about your previous reviews, you must know me really well, to know what I am and am not qualified to do. it is such a shame that I cant post pictures here, otherwise I could share with you, a photo of all the courses I have taken which are required by the local NHS Trust to work for them, hosted on their eLearning site. Hang on a minute, I have access to the NHS's eLearning system, for staff, but that must mean . something? its too late, i cant think.
So, lets recap. You raised some, well, important queries. I addressed them, asking the people in the community, if these chat groups are to continue, then I may need further information, for example... for ... example... not that its going to happen, but for another example, if I continued with my Clinical hypnotherapy course, and I practiced hypnotherapy, then, if I took on a client who had Mental Health conserns, I would have to confirm with their GP to ensure they have the capacity to understand what is being said to them, that hypnotherpy would not trigger them.
I was applying that same concept here, to contact the GP to inform them that you had requrested to join the group and if they had any conserns. I dont even know if I have the authority to do that with or with out your consent.
Did you know, I have handled 12, yes, 12 people, since Sep when I stated the website, who have expressed their desire to take their lives. I have taken the time to talk to them, to understand what has brought them to this point, and then using my website, I have signposted them to Papryous (sorry if its spelt wrong) and other Mental Health services and dropins. But how dare those people contact me, I'm, as you keep telling me, not qualified (yet), i get messages the followig day and days after, saying they are still here. must be a fluke or, am i doing something right? but what a feeling, knowing that I had helped somebody, who is still on this earth because I took time to listen to them, oh, and as I keep being told this is all i talk about, yeah, listened to them and told them to use my website
Data protection, i may not be qualified as you keep telling me, but qualified or not, I still have to abide to the Law. If I were to go forward with consent from GP's etc, then Data protection and GDPR comes in to the equasion. So currently I dont hold any data about any persons ( ok, thats now incorrect. since closing the groups, people have come forward with their medical details, asking when the groups can be reopened ) er... so, no data held for any user on my website. There are procedures and processes I would need to do before i even consider going that route, but, hey, heres another review stating this is my intention.
My intention was Learn about psychosis. went on to leaning about depression, anxity, and others, this led on to, if more people learnt about these conditions, then there would be less stigma.
website was born to tell people about available recovery colleges BUT
each recovery college websie had a "i need help" button, whats that? my site doesnt have that. So i pressed it.
ok, so telling people about recovery colleges was good, but telling people about services in your area would be better
website evolved.
why are you at the recovery college course? to learn about peoples experiances, to find coping methods. Ok, and nice to meet the students, what, join a whatsapp group, ok thanks.
Sorry, you want to join too? and you? how about if i created a whatsapp group with different conditions? the single group changed to 15. with 50 people in under 4 days. damn limit reached again, take care
