About the Webinar

Social media has encouraged some people to have an almost constant online presence, so it is to be expected that there may be an overlap between a person’s personal and professional life. In the school context, where is the line drawn? How does a staff member’s personal social media impact on their professional obligations? This session examines the following:

  • The impact of social media on the employment relationship

  • Teachers and students on social media - what is ok, what is not and when may conduct constitute grooming?

  • How to minimise the risks

  • Staff code of conduct - does your school have one and can it be enforced?

  • Legal risks - defamation, privacy and confidentiality: can your school sue (or be sued)?

  • When can an employer discipline an employee for their out of work conduct on social media?
