Personal Use of Social Media. The District recognizes that unit members have the right to express themselves by posting personal information on the Internet through personal websites, blogs, or chat rooms, and by uploading content, or by making comments on other websites or blogs. Problems, however, can arise when a unit member’s personal post identifies or appears to be associated with the District, or when a personal post is used in ways that violate District policies or rights, damages the District’s reputation, impugns the character or competence of District administrators, disparages the District’s mission, and/or violates the rights of other unit members.
Personal Use of Social Media. Please bear in mind that information shared through social networking applications, even if they are on private spaces, are still subject to copyright, data protection and Freedom of Information legislation, the Safeguarding Vulnerable Groups Act 2006 and other legislation. The college actively discourages the use of Chat Rooms, Message Boards or a Facebook Wall for example as a method of raising concerns about matters or grievances that have occurred in college that relate to work colleagues, students etc. Matters of such a nature should be dealt with through the appropriate professional channels. • I will not invite, accept or engage in communications with parents/carers or students from our college community in any personal social media as in line with College’s Social Media Policy. • I will report any communication received from students on any personal social media sites to the relevant Head of Hall who if necessary will follow the College’s Safeguarding Children and Adults Policy and Safeguarding practice. • I will not communicate with students, in relation to either college or non-college business, via social media, and will only use the college learning platform or other systems approved by the Principal, to communicate electronically with students. • If I am aware of any inappropriate communications involving any student in any social media I will report it immediately as above. • I will not accept any current student of any age of the college as a friend, follower, subscriber or similar on any personal social media account. • I will not engage with any inappropriate social media relationships with ex-students as a friend, follower, subscriber or similar on any personal social media account. • I understand I am advised to avoid posts or comments that refer to specific, individual matters related to the college and members of its community on any social media accounts. I am further advised to consider the following in relation to social networking sites: o Appropriate privacy settings o The appropriateness of images and material posted.

Personal Use of Social Media. Members of the Age of Experience group who are using social media are encouraged to use common- sense and a responsible approach to the use of social media. They should make it clear in any social media postings that they are speaking on their own behalf. Members are personally responsible for what they communicate in social media. Breach of this policy may result in disciplinary action up to and including dismissal. “Views my own” Including “views my own” on a social media profile page, can make it clearer that any personal views are not those of the programme or partners. By signing below, I confirm that I have read, understood and agree to the above. The Disciplinary Procedure (Appendix 3) The disciplinary procedure consists of 3 stages and will be triggered by the Every Step of the Way Coordinator if a member of the Age of Experience group does not uphold the terms in this agreement or an act of misconduct has occurred (for example, acting against the behaviours set out in the grounds rules) - Some disciplinary problems can be solved by informal discussions (except in a situation of gross misconduct*). Before taking formal disciplinary action, the Groundwork Coordinator will make every effort to resolve the matter by informal discussions, which may include mediation, additional training, or support for the volunteer. This would not be recorded as disciplinary action and would be seen as a process of constructive dialogue. Only where this fails to bring about the desired improvement will the formal disciplinary procedure be implemented.
