Although, the universities adhere to strict research ethics frameworks, in which confidentiality of information is quaranteed, most of this site is open to the public. Only the Collaboration Space is secure.

When discussing issues that are sensitive please make efforts to anonymise or generalise comments. It is not acceptable to place raw confidential information on the Portal. 

It is recognised that when community members are able to relate the ideas to their workplace, the information will have far more value to readers than when this would not be possible. Totally abstracting from the real work would therefore not be the best option. Often the lessons learnt from an extreme event can be described without going into detail, i.e. exact project names, budgets, locations, partners, etc. do not have to be mentioned. Instead, you can choose to call a supplier "supplier A" without disclosing any names, but still reflecting on lessons learnt and on problems observed. Especially when a project is in a critical phase (e.g. during an investigation), or it is very sensitive for other reasons, sometimes it is better to not refer to this project at all.
