The Island VI Form Use of Social Media:
The Island VI Form currently has an active presence on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram. These social media platforms are used to share general information and news stories about our school and our wonderful students, and information that we feel will be of interest to our parental community. Photographs of students will only be shared where appropriate permission has been obtained. Please do not use the messenger facility of our social networks to ask questions or report information regarding individual students. You will not receive a personal response to this sort of request and will be redirected to contact the school by telephone or email. If information requested is readily available, for example of the school website, we will respond to signpost you to the relevant information. Acceptable Use by Followers:
In the interests of our community, we request that all followers observe the following guidelines when interacting with our social media content:
- Be civil, tasteful and relevant.
- Do not post messages that are unlawful, libellous, harassing, defamatory, abusive, threatening, discriminatory, harmful, obscene, profane, sexually oriented or racially offensive.
- Do not swear.
- Do not post content copied from elsewhere, for which you do not own the copyright.
- Do not post the same message, or very similar messages, more than once (also called "spamming").
- Do not publicise your, or anyone else's, personal information, such as contact details.
- Do not advertise products or services.
- Do not impersonate someone else. We reserve the right to remove any contribution that breaks these guidelines. Followers may be banned from our social networks if they repeatedly break these guidelines. Defamation:
Please take care not to make defamatory statements. In law this means a statement that lowers the reputation of a person or organisation in the eyes of a reasonable person. We will immediately take down any statement that could be deemed to be defamatory.
