Ethical statement

SocietyWorks is wholly owned by the charity mySociety.

mySociety believes that secure democracies and a strong civil society are vital to our common welfare, and that these only prosper when people meaningfully engage with their government and within their communities.

The charity’s aim is to empower people everywhere to become informed and active citizens, able to fully participate in shaping the decisions that impact their lives, contribute to flourishing communities, and hold power to account wherever it may lie.

We are equally committed to mySociety’s aim and so require that our products are used only in a way that is compatible with it. In particular, no-one may use our products to do any of the following:

• Impinge on human agency: our products and services are not intended to be used to control behaviour or restrict a citizen’s ability to make their own choices.
• Discriminate: SocietyWorks solutions are designed to be inclusive and their use should not unfairly favour, nor exclude, any group.
