About this event

Social media is a powerful tool for not-for-profits. It helps us reach more people, spark conversations, build connections, and raise awareness. But with all those benefits come some legal risks. If we don’t manage them well, they can cause problems for both the organisation and the people involved.

In our popular social media and the law webinar, we’ll step you through some key legal risks for not-for-profit organisations that engage with social media, as well as our top tips for managing these risks.
