Social Media#

Most Members are regular users of a number of social media channels and are already mindful that, regardless of the social network used, or privacy settings activated, everything posted on the Internet has the potential to become public and widespread.

In sharing information about yourself you may be readily identifiable as a Member of the College so you must take care to ensure that the content you post fits with the image you and the College want to share online.

When using social media we expect Members to ensure they respect the College’s values. In general, you should not create any content that:

• is abusive or offensive in nature;
• amounts to bullying or harassment;
• reveals confidential information;
• misuses copyright materials;
• is against the law, as you, and the College could face legal action as a result.
• criticises the College or our staff/stakeholders

Whether you are posting content on the College’s social media channels or elsewhere) we expect Members to follow the College’s policy on social media user conduct. See ‘User conduct and submission of materials’ in the Terms of Use.

We also ask that when taking images of Goodenough Members, staff and stakeholders, you check whether any persons who are readily identifiable are happy for you to use their image on social media.

Please remember that your personal social media accounts must only be used to express your personal views, and your accounts should not use the College’s branding or logos. In instances where you want to reference the College’s services, events or other business, you should be open and identify yourself as a Member of the College.

Any information posted online may result in disciplinary action if it breaches the College’s policy or any other expected levels of conduct. You may also be required to remove content created or shared by you if the College consider such posts to be a breach of this policy.
