Guidelines for local government employees online
Although we’re bound by Codes of Conduct and the like, we’ve yet to write guidelines for NSW local government employees online.
Fortunately a number of draft and formal guidelines have been published by government agencies both here and abroad.
- Interim protocols for online media participation – Australian Public Service Commission
- Draft guidance for New Zealand State servants using social media – State Services Commission, N.Z.
- In Development – an SSC blog: Staff Contribution Guidelines (PDF) – State Services Commission, N.Z.
- Social media policies – do you have one? – NSW Public Libraries
- Principles for participation online – Civil Service, U.K.
- Draft social media and online participation policy and guidelines – Devon County Council, U.K.
How about we set up a collaborative space to write a general set of guidelines under a Creative Commons licence that Councils could freely adapt?

Hey B3rn, LGWebnetwork is planning on setting up a bunch of wikis around particular topics for us to start taking this stuff apart and re-engineering for our own purposes…I reckon you could be one of our “champions” on one of these topics…
Gartner Public Web Participation Guidelines – worth checking too
I’m all for it.
The New Zealand experience has been good in this regard.
Please keep me in the loop on your efforts and I’ll investigate support at state and federal level.
Another great resource – BBC Editorial Guidelines – Personal use of Social Networking and other third party websites
