Having a social media code of conduct that outlines rules and expectations of all staff, pupils and parents/carers helps to:
-
ensure the safety of both pupils and staff
-
upholds the school's reputation
-
encourages parents/carers to go through the school's official complaints procedure should they need to express any frustrations or concerns.
Our social media code of conduct is a template that can be completed with your school's details.
-
Blue boxes shown in the template contain advisory notes that can be deleted when you have finished.
-
Grey text within the template indicates where you need to fill in specific details, such as particular requirements of the school.
