Access from SWBH computers to this website

When many people at the Trust attempt to log on to this website they get the following message displayed:

"Your organisation's Internet use policy restricts access to this web page at this time."

This does not apply to all the Trust's computers but to very many of them.

We have to ask ourselves the question WHY?

Is this an obscene website or where deliberate untruths are told?

Do we block the opportunity for opposing views to be expressed as comments?

Are employees going to be spending large amounts of time reading the material and wasting Trust time?

If the Trust's employees are denied acces to the website at work will they only have the Trust's view on the important issues of the day?

If the Trust had sound evidence and sound reasoning and full staff support behind its reconfiguration proposals would it want to block access to this website?

Would we even need our own website if the above statement were true?
