Anonymity Policy

The gist is...If you have a serious comment to make anonymously...email it, don't just post it.

Truly anonymous comments - where the writer is unknown - are not published unless they are unexceptional.

Comments or articles where the authorship is known but are offered for publication anonymously are considered on their merits. (Email Steve or Donna in confidence.) There are some circumstances where it is necessary to be close to a particular situation to be able to throw light on it but to write about it publicly would jeopardise the author's position. In that case, the decision to publish an item anonymously hinges on the question of whether or not it is informed opinion that will add insight to, or might start, a debate on a particular topic.

Unsubstantiated allegations of illegal behaviour or substandard products, for example, would not be posted unless they could be independently verified, in which case we would probably publish them ourselves.

Just because a post, article or comment, etc. is published on Telecare Aware readers cannot and should not infer that the editors agree with the author, anonymous or not.

Challenge to Service Commissioners

Thursday, 01 October 2009 14:17

As an Estimator working for a large supplier of Warden Call/Community Alarm systems, i totally agree with Pauls' comments about suppliers being put in a difficult position when it comes to responding to Tenders.

The majority of Tenders i receive across my desk are obviously not written by people within the industry.

I'm constantly trying to 2nd guess what the end-client actually requires,which invariably leads to not providing the correct solution or pricing ourselves out of the Tender.

I have always wondered how these "Consultants" get the work to write Specifications and more importantly how much do they cost the end-user! End-users - please talk to your suppliers before spending thousands on Consultancy fees !!
