    > ‘MANAGING BAD NEWS & CRISIS ONLINE’ – ONE DAY SEMINAR

    Today everyone is a potential ‘citizen journalist’ – your pupils, parents, colleagues, governors and alumni and many others involved in your community – with access to technology that enables any of them to have unprecedented influence.

    Digital_Tool_Box_Laura_Bevans_01_19_October_2015_cropped_300_195The prevalence of the Internet, Social Media and mobile technology mean that students, parents, members of staff, suppliers and others can all contribute, directly and indirectly, wittingly and unwittingly, to the impact and reach of a story. The old ways to deal with bad news, through meetings, publications and the telephone are no longer sufficient.

    Instant digital communication and the availability of mobile devices has created a new era in which a lack of preparation and knowledge, coupled with limited time and resource, can serve to make an already difficult situation much worse when public relations issues arise… whether criticism, cyber bullying, teacher abuse, cheating, criminal activity, an accident etc.

    Stuff happens. It is unavoidable for any dynamic community, not least schools and colleges. Your institution will inevitably face unexpected events in the next few weeks, months or years that could have a negative impact on your community and beyond, and be outside your control. There are numerous examples of schools and colleges having to deal at no notice with the intense glare of local, regional and national media attention (sometimes international) fueled by Social Media and online discussion and scrutiny.

    This 1-day seminar will provide essential insights, information and guidance about online reputation management.
