Statement of Principles 

The NSDA undertakes to be an information conduit, summarising information and/or targeting recipients, but takes no responsibility for information content or communication follow-up, the assumption being that individual members and cluster representatives can make their own decision regarding the information presented.

Information with implications for tasks for the NSDA will go on the agenda for the committee.

Communications Protocol

(Draft protocol developed by cluster representatives & working group leaders.)

1. Information comes in to any network member.
2. Network member writes a two paragraph summary of the information, including contact details (web or email preferred) of the source. Summary is sent to Newsletter editor at This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it for compilation into a newsletter to be emailed regularly to all network members. 
3. A copy of the newsletter will be sent back to the source to confirm communication.
4. Cluster representative may choose to also send the information on to targeted members. Decisions about targets are the cluster representative's responsibility. Sending information out to the whole network is to be strenuously avoided, so network members are not overloaded with junk mail.
5. Contact details of network members are not to be given to the source.
