Description

There is no doubt that the use of social media guidelines for employees is gradually eroding the division between peoples’ work and private lives. As a result, it is essential that employers know, and are able to communicate to staff, what does and does not constitute acceptable behaviour when using social media platforms.

In what can be quite a confused and changeable area of law, this bite-size course will ensure that practitioners have the information which they require in order to advise their clients appropriately on social media guidelines for employees.

In addition, experienced lecturer Kathy Daniels will also consider the key cases which have shaped the social media landscape from an employment law perspective, including:

Preece v JD Wetherspoon [2011]
Crisp v Apple Retail Ltd [2011]
Weeks v Everything Everywhere Ltd [2013]
