Protecting your Reputation Online 

Social media can be a powerful tool – but it also comes with risks. Even small organisations are vulnerable to online abuse, misinformation and reputational damage. The more platforms you use, the greater the potential for things to go wrong.

This practical and engaging session will help you understand your legal and safeguarding responsibilities, and how to manage your online presence with confidence. You’ll learn how good moderation not only protects your organisation but also builds trust, encourages engagement and strengthens your brand.

Led by experienced trainers, this course will guide you through current legislation and government guidance, and equip you with the tools to create safe, inclusive and value-led online spaces.

What will you learn?

We’ll be looking at why moderation matters and what should be moderated.

By the end of the session, you will:

  • understand the legal responsibilities of trustees and staff around online activity
  • know how to moderate Facebook pages and groups, including live moderation and banning users
  • be familiar with moderation tools across other platforms including Zoom and Google
  • know how to respond to and manage Google reviews
  • be able to set the tone and policies that reflect your organisation’s values
  • understand how to balance openness with safety in your online spaces.

The session includes a confidential Q&A – either in a group or one-to-one – where you can raise specific concerns or challenges you’ve faced.

Who should attend?

Please note this training is aimed at voluntary, community and social enterprise (VCSE) organisations and groups based in North Yorkshire or delivering services within North Yorkshire.

What’s included?

As well as the two-hour online session, all attendees will leave with a resource pack containing the advice, tips and practical tools discussed within the workshop. Our trainers also include any follow-up advice or calls you need with them on the topic.
