New Charity Commission guide to social media

The Charity Commission has issued new guidance on social media and how charities can understand the risks and their responsibilities, and be ready when issues arise.

Their guidance also includes a handy checklist for developing a social media policy, and we recommend use consider this, either as a template or as a benchmark against your existing policy.

The guidance also covers how charities might use social media for ‘political’ campaigning.
