Social Media Policy
The growth in popularity of social media, its reach and immediacy provide organisations in any sector with new cost effective opportunities for communication. The RAD's Social Media Policy applies to the use of social media for the Royal Academy of Dance and governs how employees and officers - including examiners, pianists, mentors, practical teaching supervisors, tutors and any other workers - should use social media in both business and personal contexts.
