Please note that the Department of Education and Communities has this advice for teachers 'friending' parents on Facebook:
The line between your professional and personal life could become blurred, making it difficult to manage your professional relationship with the parents when that becomes necessary. You need to bear in mind that becoming friends with parents could result in their children accessing your account as well. You also need to be mindful that that you need to be careful what you say on Facebook if you have parents as friends as comments made online could be misunderstood and could result in complaints to your principal. Please do not ask to friend a member of staff as refusal may offend.
