Social media

Social media has transformed the way we connect, share, and interact. It offers numerous opportunities for individual Christians, parishes, chaplaincies and church schools to share information, engage in dialogue, and to promote our activities.

If your parish, church school or chaplaincy needs any help in engaing with any aspect of social media, please be in touch with our communication team, who can provide you with support and advice.

It's also important to note that we are called to engage with social media in a manner that reflects our Christian values and principles. So the social media policy outlined below is designed to help all of us to use platforms responsibly while we are representing the Church of England. They serve as 'best practice' guidance, with directions on how to engage constructively and safely.
