Moderation Policy
Blog comments are pre-monitored to check they comply with the above guidelines. If comments do not comply, they will not be published.
Here is a brief outline of how we evaluate comments:
Is this comment/question on topic, does it add value to the discussion and can the Ministry of Justice answer publicly?
If so, we will post the comment.
Is this person asking for information or detail relating to another Ministry of Justice channel but not related to prison officer recruitment?
If so, we'll pass the query on and ensure it is dealt with as quickly as possible. We will update the commenter on progress.
Is this comment a rant venting frustration or anger?
If so, STOP, monitor and refer to the participation guidelines. If it does not meet our guidelines then do not publish the comment.
