Our mission is to help business owners and potential business owners to run their business with purpose, while looking after themselves, the wider society, and the planet.

We are pleased to offer a dedicated space for you to share knowledge, experience, and learnings from the course.

This Course Community exists to provide value, support, and a safe space for everyone who is a part of it, so we have developed these community guidelines on how to engage with other users in the community, and what you should expect from others.

Online community do’s and don’ts

Don’ts

When posting or commenting in the community, please refrain from:

• Posting spam, promotional, or irrelevant content
• Hate speech, harassment, bullying, discrimination, or using demeaning language
• Any illegal activity

Do’s

• Treat others in the community with kindness and tolerance
• Communicate respectfully at all times
• Report content that is inappropriate or offensive

Violations of community guidelines

We strive to make the Course Community a source of support for all learners. Our moderator works hard to monitor content to ensure that the Community is a safe space. However, if you see a post or comment that you feel is inappropriate or offensive, you can report it to us directly by emailing Maureen at MOCallaghan@beyondmoney.org.uk.

Posts will be removed that go against the Community guidelines. The Community will be advised that the post has been removed.  The person who posted will also be made aware that it has been removed.

Those who repeatedly post materials that go against the community guidelines will be banned from the Course Community.

Post and comments will be reviewed before they go live to reduce the risk of any post causing offence.
