Strong links to students, parents, staff, alumni and the community expand student opportunities, improve student outcomes and build strong school communities. Social media is an increasingly important way that schools connect, often via a Facebook page or private and public Facebook groups. For social, historical and legal reasons, it’s important to archive those conversations.
With so many conversations going on, are you capturing the records you need to?
If social media interactions become heated, volatile or difficult, protect yourself with a record of your conversation. It may be needed as a professional development tool, or worst case, as evidence, to respond to Freedom of Information (FOI) requests or to support the school’s position on a particular topic. Archiving social media has specific challenges, but they’re easy to overcome with a social media first archiving solution like Brolly.
We know you value transparency. You want to be able to respond quickly to requests, or if required provide evidence to inquiries. With Brolly archiving all your records, you’re able to respond and deliver with the minimum of fuss, saving countless hours and without headaches.

According to the eSafety Commissioner, 1 in 5 children experience online bullying.
Bullying activity is not likely to happen on your school’s public social media channels but the eSafety Commissioner advises parents to reach out to the school for support if their child is being bullied.
You might find that parents or students reach out via Facebook messages, Twitter direct messages, or in Facebook groups. Capturing those conversations and requests as they happen could be a critically important part of your role in addressing online bullying at your school.
