Examples of pieces that can be submitted (ideally between 500 and 800 words although can be longer but shorter pieces are more likely to be read) include: 

• Personal story of an experience
• Opinion piece e.g. analysis of a current topic or issue etc.
• Review e.g. of a film, TV programme, event or book etc.
• Interview e.g. a questions and answers with someone

If you are thinking about writing a blog for our website, you can access our Contributor's Guide.   We will not change the content of a written piece or the arguments made unless they breach our terms and conditions and you will be contacted should this be the case. If needed we will therefore make the following editorial changes:

If your blog is time-sensitive then please let us know in the 'comment' box when uploading and submitting your piece for our consideration. Alternatively you can email us at contact@mwnhub.com.

The short answer is yes. If a blog includes information relating to an identifiable third party and they disagree with what has been said, then they will have the right to put forward their comments and/or version of events. However, the exact means by which this right will be exercised will be at the discretion of the Editor In Chief. This could be by way of a post scriptum, allowing the third party to leave a comment below the blog or potentially to allow them to write a blog of their own as a full rebuttal. Where such a request is made, we will aim to inform you as soon as possible and let you know the Editor in Chief's decision.

If you are an individual wishing to make a rebuttal, please make a request to our Editor in Chief using the 'contact' option at the top of our website.

If you need advice and tips on filming, then please contact us for a contributor's guide by emailing contact@mwnhub.com  We can edit submissions but will not change the contents or the arguments that are made unless they breach our terms and conditions. However, the following editorial changes will be made (if needed):

· Intro screen (with agreed title) where needed unless this has already been added

· Adding images and captions to clarify or highlight a point.

· Thank you end screen (if required) to thank partners which may include their logos unless this has been added

· Adding links for further information (if needed)

· MWNTV logo appearing on the top left or right of the screen (unless there is a good reason not to do so)

· Standard end screen that appear on most MWN TV videos (see other videos for information)

You could be liable for defamation for any statements you make within your blog or video about a third party which could be deemed defamatory and its inclusion is likely to cause serious harm to the reputation of said third party. Although truth is a defence to any defamation claims, this defence depends on your ability to be able to prove that your statements are the truth in a court of law which can be a lengthy and costly process. The MWN Hub will not take any responsibility for any actions which may be taken against you by third parties as a result of your contribution and it is therefore imperative that you consider any risks which may be involved in your proposed piece. Whilst we cannot provide any legal advice, the editorial team would be happy to discuss the wording and scope of your blog and any concerns you may have in this respect.

You are able to write a spotlight highlighting the work of a charity, not-for-profit organisation or community group in the UK provided that you are affiliated to it and have the expression permission of the organisation to write, and have a piece published, on their behalf. By submitting a blog about another organisation, you will be confirming to us that you have such authority.

The short answer is yes.

No. MWN Hub is owned and run by Muslim Women's Network UK (MWNUK) which is a charitable company registered with both Companies House and the Charity Commission. Charitable companies may have members who will have a specific legal standing, role and rights relating to the charity. However, becoming a member of the MWN Hub will not make you a legal member of MWNUK the charitable company and the provisions of the Companies Acts will not apply to you.

If you are a member you can contribute with written pieces and video content. You will also be able to set up your own ‘Groups’ under the ‘Talk’ section of the MWN Hub. All of these channels we help you to:

• Expand your reach to new audiences.
• Use your content to raise awareness of issues that you are passionate about
• Create debate and discussion on topics
• Expand your own knowledge by learning from others
• Expand your networks and build connections.

Online harms may manifest themselves in a number of ways and it must be acknowledged that completely eliminating all risks of, and actual, harm will be impossible. We also acknowledge our own limitations as a small charity which mean that we are unable to provide 24 hour surveillance of all activities on the MWN Hub. We will therefore not be able to commit to reviewing every comment left on any forum discussions, blogs or videos, and would not be able to review any private messages. However, we have taken the following steps to minimise and mitigate risks:

• Made it clear in our terms and conditions, acceptable and unacceptable behaviours relating to use of MWN Hub
• Shared safety tips within the MWN Hub to raise awareness of the types of safeguarding issues which may arise so that Hub users are able to identify concerning behaviour (whether directed towards them or others)
• Provided a reporting function so comments can be flagged by users and brought to the attention of the MWN Hub admin staff.
• Provided contact information on our contact page so anyone can contact us to raise concerns .
