MOD Online Engagement Guidelines Issued August '0911 August Under a headline of "Forces encouraged to blog, tweet and engage online" the MOD website announced that online engagement guidelines have been issued (6 August 2009). "The aim of this guidance is to enable Service and MOD personnel to make full use of online presences while protecting their own, Service, and Departmental interests, and to enable Commanders and communicators to harness this to communicate Defence."(Source: www.mod.uk) Further it states that "Under the new guidelines, Armed Forces and MOD staff can talk about their work online without prior authorisation from their chain of command, as long as they stay within the advice. This is an important change over earlier rules, under which personnel always needed to seek authorisation before publishing any work-related material." The guidance document can be downloaded from the MOD website or from UKCeB's website.
