Julian Stanley gives his comments on the issue of teachers taking care when using social networking websites:

"Teacher Support Network would always recommend that teachers refer to their school's procedures and policies, as well as approved guidance on social media matters."

"The risk of emotional distress and harrassment for a teacher is as strong online as it is offline, so it is vital that they take great care in all environments and seek support as soon as possible from their school, union and services like Teacher Support Network's whenever needed."
