riprap is a website developed especially for 12-16 year olds who have a parent with cancer. The site content is intended for information, education and support only and must not be treated as a substitute for any information or medical advice provided by your or your parent's own doctor or any other health care professional who know you and your specific situation. A link from riprap does not imply an endorsement of a site; likewise, not linking to a particular site does not imply lack of endorsement. We have no control over these resources and their contents, and we do not guarantee that the information found in an Internet resource using the third party links in riprap is always accurate and complete.
riprap and its contributors disclaim all responsibility for any loss, injury, claim, liability or damage of any kind that might be caused by any action, or lack of action, that a user of this service might take as a result of reading material on the riprap site or a site found using riprap. Responsibility for such actions, or lack of actions, remains with the reader concerned.
We hope that you will find the website useful, but please note that we cannot guarantee uninterrupted access to this website, or the sites to which it links.

RIPRAP Site House Rules
We have put together these rules to make sure that you keep safe when using the interactive parts of our site. Please read them through and then tick the box at the bottom, which shows you agree to follow the rules.
- Do not use your own name or family name anywhere on the site. Use a nickname. This is for your own safety.
- Do not give out any personal information while posting messages. This includes your home or school address, your phone number, e-mail address, school name, date of birth, or anything that might be identifiable to you and your family. Again, this is for your own safety. (If we find any personal information in your message, we will remove this before the message goes online)
- Do not ask for anyone else's personal information online. If you do, we'll send you an e-mail warning.
- Do not arrange to meet anyone you have met on the site.
- Do not use foul, rude, racist or aggressive language. Anyone using such language will be sent an e-mail warning.
- Treat others in the way that you want to be treated - with respect.
- Please post messages in English only. Site editors need to understand what is being said so that we can monitor the site and make sure it is safe. We are sorry that at the moment we do not have any resources to translate and monitor messages posted in another language than English. If we receive messages in other languages, we can not post them on the website.
Please note that all messages will be checked before they go online. This will be done by health and social care professionals. We hope that this will not interfere with the type of discussions you will have on the site or your willingness to share your thoughts. There are two reasons for why we need to do this:
- To make sure that the content and language is safe and appropriate
- We are also monitoring the topics of the discussions on the website so that we can learn more about the thoughts and concerns that young people have when a parent has cancer. This can help us develop 'riprap' more to suit you and it can help developing other services in this field.
