Catherine Hill Bay Surf Club adopted the Surf Lifesaving Australia Policy on Social Media in April this year. Club members are advised to read the policy as posted on our website in the library.
The main elements of the policy are members using social media:
Must not contain, or link to, libellous, defamatory or harassing content. This also applies to the use of illustrations or nicknames
Must not comment on, or publish, information that is confidential or in any way sensitive to SLSA, its affiliates, partners or sponsors
Must not bring the organisation or surf lifesaving into disrepute
If you have any question about this policy please contact Kelly Elasi 0439412357
Social media policies exist precisely because the line between personal expression and organizational liability blurs fastest in the moment someone feels most strongly about posting something. The damage rarely comes from deliberate misconduct but from employees who genuinely didn't realize the policy covered what they just shared. Executives wanting to design and enforce policies that actually change behavior rather than just document expectations often find a premier public policy management seminar & course for executives in Brisbane, Australia builds exactly the governance thinking that makes the difference between a policy people read and one they genuinely follow. Frankly, social media policies seem to matter most when employees check them before posting, not after the complaint arrives.
