Online Communication
We all use technology in some form to communicate every day. Our goal is not to ban technology, but to use technology as safely, accountable and transparently as possible.
Leaders should avoid using social media to communicate individually with young people under their care. Group-based communication should be undertaken with the approval of the ministry leader and young persons’ parents.
