About this event
Social media is a powerful tool for not-for-profits. It helps us reach more people, spark conversations, build connections, and raise awareness. But with all those benefits come some legal risks, and if we don’t manage them well, they can cause problems for both the organisation and the people involved
In our popular social media and the law webinar, we’ll step you through some key legal risks for not-for-profit organisations that engage with social media, as well as our top tips for managing these risks.
We'll cover:
- Social media and its key legal risks, including:
- Defamation
- Australian Consumer Law
- Confidentiality and privacy
- Intellectual property
- A framework for monitoring and responding to social media posts
- Top tips for managing key risks, including the importance of a social media policy
You'll receive:
- 75 minutes of plain-language training from a lawyer
- Copy of webinar recording (accessible for 3 months) and slide handout
