The Peer Practice Network is a community of practice for HIV peer support and peer navigation workers and volunteers. It includes a WhatsApp group, occasional e-mail updates, and regular Zoom webinars on topics relevant to peer practice.

The Terms of Reference and Group Agreement document is available to view on the NAPWHA Learning platform. In order to join the network you must agree to the Group Agreement. It requires all participants to respect the privacy of other members and what they disclose about themselves in the group chat, e-mail conversations or Zoom discussions.

However, NAPWHA cannot guarantee your privacy, confidentiality and anonymity if you take part in the group, as there is always the possibility that someone will breach the Group Agreement.

Please consider the risks of unauthorised disclosure and whether you are in a safe place to take part in the community of practice.

There are steps you can take to minimise (but not eliminate) the risk of unauthorised disclosure. These include using a pseudonym, creating an e-mail address you only use for HIV work, not sharing face pictures, not linking to your social media, etc. You might avoid sharing your demographic information with the community of practice and only sharing your experience in general terms.

If you are unsure, the NAPWHA Learning facilitator is available to have a conversation with you exploring the potential for disclosure and how it might affect your life if it occurs. For assistance contact learning@napwha.org.au.
