Lesson 5.2 – Social Media Rules

Use of social media

Social media activity can have a direct impact on the reputation of DIMA Group and our clients. All staff are expected to use social media responsibly and professionally.

Your conduct online must not bring DIMA Group, its clients, or colleagues into disrepute.


Social media use while on duty

You must not use social media while on duty, except during authorised breaks and away from public view.

You must not:
• Post content while on shift
• Take photographs or videos on client premises
• Share images of venues, incidents, or individuals
• Live stream or post real time updates from sites


Content relating to work

You must not post or share:
• Confidential or sensitive information
• Images or videos taken at work
• Information about incidents or security arrangements
• Details about clients, venues, or staff

This applies whether content is posted publicly or privately.


Personal accounts and professionalism

Even when using personal social media accounts outside of work, you must ensure that content does not
• Damage the reputation of DIMA Group
• Disclose confidential information
• Harass or abuse others
• Promote illegal or inappropriate behaviour

What you post online can be shared widely and may be viewed by clients or members of the public.
