This will then be shared with ASCERT\u2019s wider management team to ensure that the proposed contribution fits with ASCERT\u2019s ethos, aims and operational remit (please note this process could take between 2-4 weeks).<\/p>\n Only if approved by the wider ASCERT management team will a potential contributor then be asked by the Fundraising & Marketing Manager to go ahead and prepare a full draft piece. Once submitted, the draft blog may be edited\/amended by ASCERT and will once again need to be approved by ASCERT\u2019s wider management team prior to any publication (please note this process could take between 2-4 weeks).<\/p>\n The contributor will then be shown the approved version and asked to complete a consent form that gives ASCERT permission to publish their contribution. Normally ASCERT prefers to identity its guest bloggers, and it will be that guest blogger\u2019s responsibility to ensure their submitted content does not mention another without that person\u2019s express consent, does not defame or liable another, breaches the confidentiality of another or in any other manner is constructed and written in a manner that would breach any applicable laws or regulations.
