Social media policy
Accounts
The following accounts are managed by the secretariat during office hours.
Posts will cover a range of Council related content and include:
- news releases
- information on sentencing
- publications
- consultations
- engagement events
- policy development
- recruitment
Following
We will not automatically follow anyone who follows us. Being followed, or having posts reposted or liked by the Council on any social media platform does not imply an endorsement of any kind.
Our social media accounts will follow and repost organisations or individuals of relevance to the justice system and the Council in particular. We will cease to follow accounts we believe to be malicious, spam or inappropriate.
Contact
The Council will not necessarily answer messages through social media platforms and sending messages to us publicly or privately via social media will not be considered official contact with the Council.
Response
We will not automatically respond to posts directed to the Council. We may respond either openly or privately to provide factual information or guidance.
Availability
Social media platforms may occasionally be unavailable and we accept no responsibility for a lack of service due to downtime.
Security
We will change our social media platform passwords regularly using strong passwords.
