Q: Do you have a policy for staff use of social networking sites?
'We're on the council network and sites such as Facebook and YouTube are banned, so staff cannot access them at work. We do have a nursery Facebook page that we set up before the ban and we were always very careful about how we used it. We never posted up photos of the children. We only use children's photos on the nursery website if we have gained permission from the parents first.'
'It is in my confidentiality policy and also in staff members' contracts that they are not allowed to name the nursery that they work for online.'
