Don’t put personal details that would identify you or other people.
Here are examples..

We will only publish stories that are respectful of other people
No racism, sexism, or unkindness
We will check your piece to make sure it is OK before we publish it.
This may take a short time.
For "Celebrate A Life" stories, please just use a first name, initials, or even a made up name if you want. It is YOUR story about the person.
We would love to put up photos with the story but for this we need consent from the families or carers of the person who died.
