The Forest Children’s Centre reserves the right to close accounts if any user is seen to be using proxy IPs (Internet Protocol addresses) in order to attempt to hide the use of multiple Forest Children’s Centre accounts, or if an non UK user pretends to be a UK user, or disrupts any of our services in any way.
