- personal attacks, bullying or derogatory references to UK NSC members or staff
- offensive language about the work of the organisation or its employees
- hate speech, profanity, obscenity or vulgarity

- spam or any other comments posted with the intention of marketing products or for other commercial or promotional purposes

Comments/replies posted on social media accounts, which are not posted by the UK NSC, do not necessarily represent our views.
We take care to ensure any information we share – such as a retweet – comes from credible sources. However, we do not necessarily support or endorse all content on any feeds/websites mentioned on our social media channels.
Receiving a response from the UK NSC
We prefer to respond to all direct questions asked on social media, by reply using social media, but occasionally we may direct queries elsewhere if they would benefit from a more detailed response.
You can email us at uknsc@dhsc.gov.uk.
