Private Contact, Clearly Explained

Two ways to begin a conversation.

Both routes use the same private Education Influence inbox. The difference is who may start each kind of conversation.

Direct message

Official Influencers initiate

Only green-tick members can start an ordinary direct message. Every member can receive and reply to a conversation already in their inbox.

Service request

Any signed-in member can enquire

Use Request service to send a structured enquiry even if you are not verified. The educator then replies through the same secure Messages inbox.

Community Charter

Useful work. Respectful conduct. Trustworthy recognition.

Education Influence is a professional community. Every member agrees to contribute responsibly and help protect the trust that makes the network valuable.

1
Share work you have the right to publish

Use your own work, credit sources, obtain permission for images and never publish plagiarised material.

2
Keep the community safe and professional

Be respectful, accurate and safeguarding-aware. Protect personal information and do not use the platform for spam, harassment or misleading claims.

3
Choose quality over quantity

Recognition is earned through useful contributions, not bulk uploads. Content and accounts may be reviewed, corrected, unpublished or removed when standards are not met.
