I read in this months Practical Pre School that all mobile phones are banned within a childcare setting and should be turned off prior to entry including visitors and children should not be discussed on social media sites. I haven't read this anywhere:panic:
I have read that we need to have a mobile phone policy (in place) and that confidential info is not shared (of course it isn't) but I do take photos during the day on my mobile some of which are posted on my business facebook page (only with parents permission) and I certainly don't tell anyone coming in to turn their phones off. The parents who are happy for photos to go on facebook have realatives all over the uk and want them to see the photos and have links with me (grandparents). The facebook page is only for current parents and once a child leaves parents are blocked from seeing anything as is anyone else who isn't a friend.
Not sure where to go with this info from the magazine. What do others do??
