Information request
Received 8 February 2018
Is there an official policy for the use of organisational Facebook or Twitter accounts (ie how to post, what to use it for and when to delete or preserve records)? If there is a policy (or policies) please may I be provided with them?

The Social Security Advisory Committee’s social media policy is available on its website and therefore section 21 of the Freedom of Information Act applies. I provide a link to that policy for convenience: www.gov.uk/government/organisations/social-security-advisory-committee/about/social-media-use
