Morning
I hope you are well.
I am emailing following a couple of parents asking me to adjust our Facebook account to remove the option to Share as there were concerns regarding a local Facebook Page sharing our school posts.
As a school we have looked into this request: our Facebook Page is an ‘open page’ and we do not have the option to remove ‘Share’. In a closed group or on a personal account you have this option. If we were to create a ‘closed page’ for our school Facebook account this presents challenges as we would be accepting responsibility for admitting ‘known’ people and in an online world this is not possible.
We are therefore emailing to remind you that if information or photographs are shared on a website or any social media platform they are accessible to anyone and could be saved and shared.
As a school we annually ask for your permissions regarding photographs of your children on our website and on our social media platforms (Facebook, Twitter and You Tube). If at any time you wish to alter these permissions please email lynne.stanley@taw.org.uk clearly stating the name of your child, class and what you wish to amend.
In the meantime we will continue to use the current permissions we have on file for your child.
We thank you for your support.
Mrs M
