A diverse and vibrant community of faith, we are Called Together to change, serve and grow as we seek first the Kingdom of God. HOW TO ENGAGE WITH OUR PAGE
This page is for anyone who is interested in keeping up to date with the work and mission of Rochester Diocese. By engaging with our social media accounts, you agree to:
Be safe. The safety of children, young people and vulnerable adults must be maintained. If you have any concerns, ask a diocesan safeguarding adviser. Do not post or share content that is sexually explicit, inflammatory, hateful, abusive, threatening or otherwise disrespectful. Treat others how you would wish to be treated and assume the best in people. If you have a criticism or critique to make, consider not just whether you would say it in person, but the tone you would use. Don’t mislead people about who you are. Take responsibility. You are accountable for the things you do, say and write. Text and images shared can be public and permanent, even with privacy settings in place. If you’re not sure, don’t post it. Be a good ambassador. Personal and professional life can easily become blurred online so think before you post. Disagree well. Some conversations can be places of robust disagreement and it’s important we apply our values in the way we express them. Credit others. Acknowledge the work of others. Respect copyright and always credit where it is due. Be careful not to release sensitive or confidential information and always question the source of any content you are considering amplifying. Follow the rules. Abide by the terms and conditions of the various social media platforms themselves. If you see a comment that you believe breaks their policies, then please report it to the respective company. The Diocese of Rochester Communications teams may take action if they receive complaints or spot inappropriate, unsuitable or offensive material posted to their social media accounts. This may include deleting comments, blocking users or reporting comments as appropriate.
