Social Media Policy
17 Apr 2018 by South Tweed JRL Committee
The Club will act against any individual or group who breaks the following rules surrounding the improper use of social media:
The rule is:
- That any player, official, volunteer, or parent found commenting on Facebook or other forms of Social Media in an abusive, defamatory, insightful, harassing or bullying manner, directly or indirectly to any other player, official, volunteer, or parent will have the comments brought to the attention of the disciplinary committee and will face a 4-week suspension from football.
- This suspension can also be brought against parents who will be banned from grounds.
There is no freedom of speech or any privacy matter that can be argued. The internet is a public domain and once something is posted it is in no way private anymore.
- In any incident of this type occurring to yourself or child, please take a screenshot of the conversation and bring it to the attention of a club official.
Please do not ignore this matter – this is important for sport and for all children. Misuse of Social Media will not be tolerated. This includes via South Tweed JRL Team App, Website and Facebook Page.
