Social networking presents educators with a new generation of potential benefits and problems.
This webinar describes the legal implications of social media for private schools and provides practical defensive strategies.
Private schools, as employers, must be more aware than ever before about their legal duties. Since the law requires teachers to teach by example as well as by lesson, and that example is set just as much by their conduct outside the classroom as within, what legal risks do social networks present? What privacy issues arise? What do private schools need to know about cyber-bullying and threats? Are there free speech issues?
Presenter: Alan Wolfish Q.C.
