New groups
We have grown again as a family!
To ensure the right people are in our groups and to make them more secure, we are making some changes.
Please read the information below and complete the form to let us know which groups you would like to be added to.
Amma Family under 2’s
Amma’s focus is to support people who are pregnant or who have a child under 2. We will replace the current ‘New Amma Family Group’ with a new system to invite those who are pregnant or who have a child under 2 to Amma Family events.
Once you have completed the form, we will confirm your phone number and contact you by a WhatsApp broadcast message to sign up to events. This will provide you with complete privacy to join events without anyone else being able to see your number or any personal details. Once added to the broadcast group you must save the contact number to your phone or you will no longer receive messages
Amma Family Community chat group
This group is a space for Amma parents with children of any age to chat and share information. We also use it to let you know about community activities and Amma activities suitable for over 2’s.
We will still use WhatsApp for this but will shut down the current group of over 200 and set up a new one, verifying that each member is an Amma mama before re-adding them.
We try to keep this as secure as possible but with WhatsApp, your number is visible to others in the group. There is always a small chance that someone from outwith the group could breach security and get access to your number.
As a basic reminder of WhatsApp safety:
Beware of Links and Files 📁⚠
Be cautious with links or files shared in the group. They could contain links to scams or viruses.
*Avoid Sharing Sensitive Information* 🔏💬
Do not share personal or sensitive information in the group to protect your privacy.
If you need to share your address to arrange a delivery of baby items etc. use a private message. You can do this by choosing to “reply privately”.
*Use WhatsApp Privacy Settings* 🔑
You may want to change your privacy settings to control who can see your personal information, such as your profile picture, status, and last seen.
You can also turn on 2 step authentication to make your WhatsApp account more secure.
*Report any suspicious or harmful behaviour 📢*
If you see anything that makes you feel uncomfortable please contact a member of Amma Staff and share your concerns. We will investigate and take appropriate action. If anyone from Amma phones you, you are welcome to check that are who they say they are by contacting an Amma member of staff, or by phoning the office to check.
If you give away your phone to someone else, make sure you leave the group.
Please also let us know if you have changed your number
Thank you for understanding, if you have any questions you can message or call Leah ( 07869 703 872) or Beti (07869 704 041) and we’ll do our best to help.
