Social Media Policy

People, Words & Change (PWC) believes in using social media in a way that informs, inspires and shows respect for people.

To ensure a professional online presence, PWC’s social media accounts will follow these procedures:

  • No staff member or volunteer may create any kind of social media account in PWC’s name without approval from the Executive Director.
  • Only people approved by PWC’s Executive Director may make social media postings on behalf of PWC.
  • PWC’s Executive Director will ensure that all social media accounts have proper security and privacy controls.
  • It is the responsibility of PWC’s Executive Director to ensure that all postings made by PWC are appropriate.

All social media postings by PWC will:

  • Show respect for human dignity.
  • Respect the spirit of the Ontario Human Rights Code.
  • Respect PWC’s operating philosphy.
  • Respect people’s privacy and confidentiality.

PWC considers the following types of postings by us or others on our Facebook page, Twitter account or other social media sites to be unacceptable:

  • Defamatory or offensive postings, including swear words or verbal abuse.
  • Postings that are racist or sexist in nature or are a violation of human rights.
  • Postings that are against the spirit of the Ontario Human Rights Code.
  • Postings that are politically partisan or sectarian in nature.
  • Postings from external individuals or organizations that are intended to solicit business for an external individual or company.
