Educational Institutions: Social Media
Asked by: Lord Watson of Wyre Forest (Labour - Life peer)
Thursday 10th April 2025

Question to the Department for Education:

To ask His Majesty's Government whether they issue guidance to schools and colleges regarding their use of social media channels, particularly the use of these to mark religious occasions and festivals.

Answered by Baroness Smith of Malvern - Minister of State (Minister for Women and Equalities)

The department has not issued specific guidance for schools on the use of social media channels, although the department’s ‘Political impartiality in schools’ guidance makes the point that school-branded social media channels should not be partisan and should present a balanced presentation of political issues. However, this guidance is clear that the principles or views in line with the tenets of a particular faith are not considered to be political, so are not covered by statutory requirements on political impartiality. The full guidance is attached and can also be read at: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/political-impartiality-in-schools/political-impartiality-in-schools.
