East Ayrshire Health And Social Care Partnership

The East Ayrshire Health and Social Care Partnership is the integration of the East Ayrshire Council Social Care and NHS Ayrshire and Arran.

The East Ayrshire Health and Social Care Partnership is the integration of services within East Ayrshire Council Social Care and NHS Ayrshire and Arran.

The combination of health and social care means that our services run more efficiently for both service workers and service users.


The aims of the Partnership are that:

- Children and Young People, including those in early years, and their parents /carers are supported to be active, healthy and to reach their potential at all life stages.

- All residents are given the opportunity to improve their wellbeing, to lead an active healthy life and to make positive lifestyle choices.

- Older people and adults who require support and their family and carers are included and empowered to live the healthiest life possible.

- Communities are supported to address the impact inequalities has on the health and wellbeing of our residents.

** East Ayrshire Health and Social Care Partnership Facebook Page Policy **

To ensure that our Facebook page remains a clear, useful and enjoyable resource for everyone, we have established the following policies:

**Bullying behaviour**

We welcome and will engage in constructive discussion and criticism, but we will not tolerate any form of aggressive or bullying behaviour on our page towards our staff or other users. If any member of our page feels that they are being bullied via the page, please contact us at HealthandSocialCareIntegration@east-ayrshire. gov. uk

Examples of bullying behaviour can include:

* Derogatory remarks
* Rude or aggressive posts or comments
* Insensitive jokes and pranks
* Insulting or aggressive behaviour
* Inappropriate public criticism

If aggressive behaviour or bullying persists after a private warning, we will remove any offending posts or comments and report such behaviour to Facebook. This behaviour may also result in a permanent ban from our page.

We will not tolerate any discrimination against anyone on the grounds of their race, colour, nationality, religion, ethnic or national origins, sexual orientation, disability or age.

**Moderation**

We reserve the right to remove content posted on the wall at our discretion. We will also not accept repetitive posts or posts that we consider not to be relevant in the context of the page (spamming). We will delete posts which infringe the copyright of third-party websites (by posting an entire news article, for example).

We will also remove comments which stray to a considerable degree off-topic, in order to ensure a proper discussion can take place on a given subject.

We are a politically neutral organisation and will have to delete any comments which show a political bias.

We will not participate, encourage or condone any behaviour that is illegal, dangerous or offensive to other people and we will remove links to websites or other sites that express views counter to what East Ayrshire Health and Social Care Partnership is trying to achieve or which go beyond the boundaries of normal debate by being offensively derogatory.

If this behaviour persists after a warning then we reserve the right to ban individuals from the page

We apologise to the few people who may not meet criteria for having their contributions published – it’s not personal but our main aim is to have discussions without anyone feeling that they are being attacked. If your comment has not been published please consider these points and resubmit your comment respecting these guidelines.

Please do not post personal details including address or PIN number on the Facebook page.
