Social Media Policy
Office of Dr Beccy Cooper MP
About this page
The social media accounts run by the Office of Dr Beccy Cooper MP (Instagram/Facebook) are there to keep residents of Worthing West informed about Beccy’s work in Parliament and locally across the constituency, and to provide a space for respectful discussion.
We welcome comments, questions and engagement from constituents and members of the public and set out below the expectations of those engaging on the platforms:
Expected standards of behaviour
To ensure this remains a constructive space, all users are expected to:
- Treat others with respect and courtesy
- Engage in constructive discussion and debate
- Avoid personal attacks or spreading misinformation
Moderation policy
To maintain a safe and respectful environment, comments may be hidden or removed if they include:
- Racist, sexist, homophobic, transphobic or otherwise discriminatory language
- Hate speech or abusive content
- Threats, harassment or intimidation
- Misleading or deliberately false information
- Defamatory or libellous statements
- Spam or repeated posting
- Content that is inflammatory or designed to provoke rather than contribute to discussion
Users who repeatedly breach these guidelines may be blocked from the page.
Engaging with the page (FB/Instagram)
Please note:
- The accounts are not monitored 24/7
- Comments will be moderated in accordance with the policy above
- Not all comments will receive a response or reply
Where appropriate and where capacity allows, we will respond to comments or questions publicly.
