Information posted on this site should not be taken as a substitute for specialist medical advice. Please address medical queries to your medical team. Please remember that each child's experience of a condition will vary and the experience of one will not necessarily be the same as another. In each medical case professional medical or other advice should be obtained before acting on anything contained herein as no responsibility can be accepted by Children's Liver Disease Foundation.
The forum is for parents, family members and other individuals affected by childhood liver disease to share experiences, and as such it is against our policy to allow postings and requests from external organisations and agencies to remain on the forum. This forum is not designed for medical professionals.
CLDF recognises that the forum can be viewed widely and has stringent personal and child protection policies. Thus, we are unable to permit images on the forum. The vast majority of CLDF’s website visitors are genuine. However unscrupulous users could enter the site. We therefore strongly advise that you do not include personal details in your posts - in particular home address, telephone numbers, personal email and blog addresses - to help prevent undesired contact or knowledge of your personal circumstances.
We review the forum regularly to check for inappropriate or inaccurate messages. However, if you feel that a message should be drawn to our attention or, if you have any other queries regarding CLDF e-talk, please contact the moderator.
