Navigating the use of social media remains a challenging topic for many charities. Managed properly, a charity’s own social media channel can be a powerful force for engagement with the public. However, the position can become more complicated when it comes to the use of individual social media accounts and the accompanying blurring of professional and personal lives. The risks feel particularly acute in times of increasingly fractured public discourse.
The Charity Commission’s guidance on social media highlights the importance of charities protecting their reputations and having a policy on the use of social media in place. However, several recent high-profile cases have highlighted the complexities which can arise in practice when considering how to appropriately manage the risk of reputational damage, particularly when also navigating expressions of protected beliefs.
Join us for a one-hour webinar to explore key considerations arising from these recent cases and guidance. We will be focussing on the issues of managing reputational risk and respecting an individual’s right to express their protected beliefs.
