Please be aware that by requesting a buddy, you agree to the following.
I agree to let the NPRS share my email address with my buddy.
I will be formally introduced by email to my buddy first and it will then be my choice to share a telephone number to start the buddy process.
The NPRS may decline my request for a buddy should they feel i am not in need of a buddy right now.
I must respect my buddy when it comes to contacting them for help. I will not call them in the middle of the night for non-emergency questions.
Where possible i will try and organise calls in advance so the buddy can set aside time to spend on the phone with you.
I should where possible call the buddy myself so the buddy would not be responsible for call charges.
