The International Physical Literacy Association encourages responsible interaction across all of our social media channels. This policy outlines the values and behaviours that we expect from our social networking platforms and the moderation processes which are in place to ensure that these are upheld.
Leading Guidelines:
- Interaction via the International Physical Literacy Association social media channels is encouraged.
- The Social Media Policy must be adhered to at all times by administrators, moderators, members and non-members of the International Physical Literacy Association.
Moderation
All members will be encouraged to read the Social Media Policy as this will form the backbone for moderation. It is hoped that the ‘online community’ will, to a certain degree, police itself and require little, if any, intervention from the International Physical Literacy Association. However, there may be occasions when intervention is necessary. For instance, if users within the International Physical Literacy network are put at risk or if users post content that is deemed offensive in any way.
Personal details
The International Physical Literacy Association discourages users from sharing personal information that may allow other users to contact them separately. This personal information includes telephone numbers, email addresses, postal addresses, or specific times and places for meetings.
Offensive material
Users within the International Physical Literacy Association social networks are encouraged to behave respectfully and adhere to the Social Media Policy. Offensive material, including racist, rude and discriminatory posts will not be tolerated. Offensive material will be dealt with on a case-by-case basis, reviewing the content and author information before taking action. If the content is offensive, denigrating and completely out of context, then a firm response closing the conversation or directing it to a positive tone will be actioned, as well as taking the conversation offline. Offensive posts will be deleted by the International Physical Literacy Association. A record of the offensive post may be kept, including date, time, author information and content.
We strongly encourage users to respect others. We will review all comments posted on the network, and reserve the right to remove anything posted that:
- is hateful, harassing, threatening, offensive, untrue or obscene about another person;
- contains discriminatory comments regarding race, ethnicity, religion, gender, disability, sexual orientation or political beliefs;
- condones or promotes unlawful or illegal activity;
- is fraudulent, deceptive or misleading;
- is sexual or offensive graphically or in tone;
- contains spam or is intended to cause technical disruptions to this page or other people’s computers and devices;
- violates any applicable laws or regulations e.g. copyright or intellectual property rights; or
- promotes brands that have no association with the International Physical Literacy Association.
