Social Media Misuse
Location: Birmingham, venue tbc

This one day workshop will examine the key issues which arise for FE institutions in managing both staff and students who misuse social media tools and the risks this presents. The course will explore the legal framework you need to be aware of, including issues such as bullying and harassment, duty of care and confidentiality. There will also be guidance on how to best manage the risks and take appropriate action. Difficult issues such as freedom of speech and expression and the distinctions between home and work boundaries will be discussed.
