Social media is most likely essential to your organisation as a marketing and engagement tool. It is an important way of engaging with individuals, groups or communities across your sector.

Most individuals will have some sort of personal presence across social media. They may use it in a personal yet professional capacity to engage with peers, organisations and to participate in relevant conversations. This can help raise the profile of their organisation, their expertise and the work that they do. However, sometimes the personal and professional can become blurred on social media. This is why it’s important to have a policy for staff so that they can use social media within the guidelines of your organisational policy and stay compliant.
