Running a Social Media Account
Social media accounts are a great way to bring awareness to your SGN and to increase engagement digitally/physically.
Societies may set up social media accounts for themselves but must be respectful of the Union and Universities social media policies. Societies using the ‘RGU’ and ‘RGU:Union’ brand must not make any statements or issue communications which are false or damage the reputation of the Union or University. When setting up your social media account make sure to use your society email.
As mentioned in the above table please consistently upload onto your social media accounts and tag us in your posts as we can share your posts. Before uploading anything to your SGNs socials have a look over it first. Ultimately have fun with your social media accounts but please be safe and responsible.
Housekeeping rules to keep in mind;
- Never give away personal information of your members and keep in mind the Data Protection Act includes giving out the email address of your members
- No swearing on your social media profiles
- Do not post anything which could be deemed as offensive on grounds of race, nationality, religion, gender, sexuality, disability or anything else which could be deemed discriminatory.
- Do not use or alter the RGU logo without permission.
- Speak to us before accepting any sponsorship deals involving social media posts.
- Do not beach copyright rules by posting images/text/video you do not have permissions to use.
