Can anyone tell me why Mumsnet carries that warning on the Special Needs section in Talk, saying that posters are 'members, not experts'? I have flicked through some of the other topics, some of which involve medical advice - e.g. conception and childbirth - and can find no such warnings there.
While I personally find that it is other parents who have always offered the most expert advice to me, not professionals, I can understand that Mumsnet might wish to cover their backs.
What I can't understand is why they don't feel the need to cover their backs on other topics where medical, educational and emotional advice is being dispensed by other parents. It looks like we are less expert than other parents without sn children...! Or am I just reading it wrong?
