• posting any comments about, or images or videos of employees unless you have their permission, or if they are connected to you as “friends” and your posts are unrelated to work. • posting comments that could cause offence to customers or potential customers. • posting comments, images or videos that could present a negative image of you as an employee of the Company. This is not an exhaustive list. You are also responsible for ensuring that any comments that your connections or others put onto your own social media profile, or any posts that “tag” or otherwise identify you, do not contravene the rules set out above. You should immediately delete any posts which appear to breach these rules and generally exercise caution so as to prevent any contraventions. Failure to comply with this policy may lead to disciplinary action and could result in your dismissal. 28.Mobile Telephones & Hand Held Devices A mobile phone will be provided to certain employees who need one for business use.

You are permitted to use the mobile phone for personal calls and texts.
