Social Media Policy
Due to the popularity of social media and the wish to protect both its members and the public from inappropriate online behaviour/content, Football NSW has published guidelines detailing what is and isn’t permitted.
Whilst social media is a vital tool in engaging with the public, if used improperly it can cause a number of problems and even lead to legal proceedings.
The policy covers:
Content – what is & isn’t appropriate (pornography, unauthorised use of personal image etc)
Commenting using libellous or inflammatory remarks
Promoting improper products/services via organisation websites/emails
Bringing the related Football organisations into disrepute
Intellectual property issues
Please take the time to read and familiarise yourself with the Football NSW policy, downloadable from here.
Football South Coast have also issued a Social Media Policy which can be found here.
