It may not always be possible for ASCERT to seek advance consent from the third-party website owner to link to such content. Linking to such content does not represent an endorsement by or confirmation of the accuracy/validity of the information by ASCERT, we merely provide such links to enrich the nature of the content provided on our website.
- To provide information on additional sources of support: Within the Resources section of this website we provide links to other locally operating agencies and organisations who may be able to provide additional information, advice and support to anyone visiting our website. ASCERT will always seek the content of the third-party website owner to link to their website in this manner.
