Last Updated: September 2026

Welcome to www.declanhunterreed.co.uk (the "Website"). These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your use of this Website and any materials, resources, or general information provided on it.

By accessing or using this Website, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the Website.

1. About This Website

This Website is owned and operated by Declan Hunter-Reed ("I", "me", "my"), operating as an independent consultant, keynote speaker, and trainer based in Bristol, United Kingdom.

The primary purpose of this Website is to outline professional training, keynote speaking, and strategic consultancy services for organizations, health authorities, and charities, as well as providing educational harm-reduction resources.

2. Informational & Educational Purposes Only (No Clinical / Emergency Advice)

  • Not Medical Advice: The content published across this Website, including articles, blog posts, and digital downloads (such as Understanding Chemsex), is provided solely for general educational, training, and harm-reduction information purposes. It does not constitute clinical diagnosis, personalised medical advice, psychiatric treatment, or individual legal counsel.

  • No Client-Clinician Relationship: Interacting with this Website, downloading toolkits, or submitting an inquiry via the contact form does not establish a therapist-client, doctor-patient, or clinical relationship.

  • Emergency Signposting: This Website is not an emergency service or crisis response platform. If you or someone you are supporting is in acute physical danger, experiencing an overdose, or in medical distress, please call 999 or your local emergency services immediately. For confidential 1-to-1 chemsex support, please contact specialist third-sector support services.

3. Intellectual Property Rights

  • Ownership: All content on this Website—including text, copy, site architecture, logos, branding, graphics, frameworks (such as the 5-Domain Assessment Model and The Consent Ladder), and downloadable publications—is the intellectual property of Declan Hunter-Reed unless otherwise indicated, and is protected by UK and international copyright laws.

4. Professional Bookings & Commercial Engagements

Any booking for workshops, masterclasses, speaking engagements, or advisory consultancy is governed by a separate written agreement, proposal, or purchase order entered into between Declan Hunter-Reed and the commissioning client/organisation.

  • Displaying service pillars, workshop outlines, or guide summaries on this Website does not constitute a binding legal offer to supply services until a formal booking confirmation or contract is agreed in writing.

  • Commercial terms, cancellation policies, delivery parameters, and payment terms (standard 30-day invoicing for NHS, local authorities, and third-sector clients) are detailed within each formal proposal.

You agree to use this Website lawfully and respect the integrity of the platform. You must not:

  • Use the Website to transmit defamatory, offensive, discriminatory, or unlawful material.
