Confidentiality

For many workers and individuals, both Rainbow Network meetings and the e-group present the only opportunity to discuss and debrief about their experiences of working with SSATY. Confidentiality is very important as is ensuring the anonymity and privacy of the young people who participate in groups and projects.

The Rainbow Network E-List is NOT open to young people who attend any of the groups, unless you are involved in leading activities.

Contact Roz if you have any questions or are having trouble with the membership form.
