1. Social media is generally understood to be the interaction among people to create, share and exchange information and ideas in virtual communities and networks; it includes, but is not limited to, programs such as Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn or even Blogs. The significant differences between social media and traditional forms of communication are the reach, frequency and immediacy of the communication. Social networking and internet services have become a common form of communication both in the workplace and in our private lives. Social media's popularity stems from its ability to quickly reach many people on a global scale, which is the reason why DCSM/JPSU uses social media to pass on the organization's strategic information.

2. As with most things, social media is not always associated with positive outcomes. Many government agencies and corporations now have their own social media policies resulting from inappropriate comments being posted by their employees. Companies routinely use the Internet as part of job interviews to see what has been posted by perspective employees or to find out what type of social media groups of which they are a part. There are many reports of social media being used by employees to speak disparagingly about their employers and as many reports about the eventual retribution taken by these organizations, which has resulted in personal and professional censure and, in some cases, termination of employment.

3. While neither the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) nor this organization can, or will, dictate what forms of social media individuals may use, administration and/or disciplinary action can and will be taken for unprofessional behaviour, conduct or comments that may be associated with such use. It must be clearly understood that the inappropriate use of social media can have serious ramifications for the CAF; it can erode public trust, cause serious breeches of security and destroy team cohesion. Therefore, it is important to understand the policies, rules, regulations and standards of conduct that apply to what an individual in the CAF can post on social media sites; this includes personal sites such as Facebook. This policy provides the necessary guidance to ensure compliance with current regulations while at the same time, respecting personal freedom and rights. To help understand what appropriate or inappropriate content is the following "Dos and Don'ts" guidelines have been developed. Bear in mind, the list is not exhaustive and common sense must also prevail.

Do:

• Be aware that you are personally responsible for the content you post on your social networking sites. Remember that what you post will be public for a long time – protect your privacy.
• Ensure that your profile and the content you post reflect positively on your professional role in the CAF and JPSU.
• Be aware that your actions, posts or comments can reflect on the image of the CAF and the JPSU.
• Maintain confidentiality. Do not post protected or classified information about the Canadian Armed Forces or the JPSU.
• Be respectful of your chain of command, your supervisors, your peers and your subordinates.
• Ensure your profile and related content is consistent with how you wish to present yourself to your superiors, colleagues and Canadian citizens. Be aware that you are responsible for not only the content that you post, but also the content of your friends in which you are "tagged". This can include photos and comments which may present you or any associated activities in a negative context.
• Avoid comments or topics that may be considered objectionable or inflammatory to the CAF and the JPSU.

Don't:

• Make disparaging comments or remarks, or criticize your chain of command, your supervisors, your peers or your subordinates.
• Use or make ethnic slurs, use profanity, direct personal insults or engage in any conduct that would not be acceptable in the workplace.
• Write anything that might reflect discredit on the CAF, JPSU or any of its members.
• Write anything that might discourage others or make them dissatisfied with their conditions or their employment.
• Disclose any protected or classified information, including location destination or route of travel.
• Disclose any military information or your views on any military subject.
• Provide your opinions on any military question that is under consideration by superior authorities.
• Take part in online discussions relating to orders, regulations or instructions issued by your superiors.

4. While this document provides you with a basic outline of the CAF policies and regulations concerning proper use of social media, it is not intended to duplicate all the information contained in the references listed above, rather to reiterate them. It is each individual's responsibility to read the references and understand the CAF's policy on the use of social media.

CONCLUSION

5. While reference D, DAOD 6002-7, speaks to the policy on the Internal Use of Social Media Technologies and dictates how an individual may use social media as part of their daily work, References A through C speak to an individuals responsibilities under the Queen's Regulations and Orders (QR&O) regarding an individuals' right to divulge their personal opinion and rules pertaining to the disclosure of information. These references are based on regulations under the National Defence Act (NDA) and contravention of these orders whether while on or off duty could result in disciplinary measures.

6. Every member of JPSU is responsible for being conversant with the content of this directive and references, and should seek clarification if there is any doubt as to the content of either this directive or references.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENT BY MEMBER

7. I have read and fully understand the contents of DCSM's/JPSU's policy on social media. I have read and understand the contents of QR&Os 19.14 and 19.36.

3. Overview
Context
3.1 The use of social media within the Government of Canada (GC) includes the use of blogs, wikis, communities of practice, fora and other collaborative technologies. These technologies are used to enhance the agility and breadth of consultation within communities of interest by providing a participative environment that permits reviewing, editing and commenting on shared content.
3.2 DND and CF communities of practice may establish internal social media sites to:
a. improve service performance and integrate service delivery;
b. achieve efficiencies in the preparation, accessibility and dissemination of information; and
c. foster interactive communications and facilitate consultation in the development and delivery of policies, programs, services and initiatives.
3.3 Treasury Board has established the Guideline to Acceptable Use of Internal Wikis and Blogs Within the Government of Canada to provide practical advice and guidance on the implementation and acceptable use of the social media technologies internal to the GC.
3.4 This DAOD is part of the DND and CF IM and IT Policy Framework and should be read in conjunction with other relevant ADM(IM) policies, instructions, directives, standards and guidance.
Objective
3.5 The objective of this DAOD is to establish the roles and responsibilities for the effective internal DND and CF use of social media technologies.
Expected Results
3.6 The expected results of this DAOD in the DND and the CF are the following:
a. increased use of internal collaborative technologies to improve decision-making processes;
b. improved efficiencies in approval processes based on a collaborative development approach; and

Top of Page
4. Requirements
Information Management and Recordkeeping
4.1 Most social media technologies do not include recordkeeping functionality for the proper retention and disposition of information of business value. Community leads must therefore ensure that any such information is added to the appropriate recordkeeping repository, and profiled in accordance with the DAOD 6001 series.
Standards for Web Usability and Accessibility
4.2 The rules set out in the Treasury Board Standard on Web Usability and the Standard on Web Accessibility must be applied when implementing social media technologies.
Official Languages
4.3 The Treasury Board Directive on the Use of Official Languages in Electronic Communications applies to all internal social media sites. Interfaces must therefore be implemented according to language-of-work designations, but contributors may add content in either official language.
Access to Information and Privacy
4.4 All information posted to internal social media sites is subject to the provisions of the Access to Information Act and the Privacy Act. Site user agreements must inform and remind contributors of the applicability of these Acts.
Defence Ethics
4.5 While using internal social media sites, DND employees and CF members must conduct themselves professionally and ethically, and comply with DAOD 7023-1, Defence Ethics Program.
Acceptable Use
4.6 As the internal use of social media technologies requires access to the defence intranet, DND employees and CF members must comply with DAOD 6002-2, Acceptable Use of the Internet, Defence Intranet, Computers and Other Information Systems. There should be no expectation of privacy when using internal social media sites.
Communications and Public Affairs
4.7 The Assistant Deputy Minister (Public Affairs) is the functional authority for communication and public affairs programmes for DND and the CF, including the management of Internet publishing and advising on internal communications. DAOD 2008-0, Public Affairs Policy, and DAOD 2008-6, Internet Publishing, provide the operating principles required for community leads and technical administrators to implement and monitor internal social media sites.
Personal Information and Opinions
4.8 Personal information such as résumés, educational credentials, home addresses, personal identifiers and photographs should not be posted to internal social media sites. However, the Privacy Act states that certain types of personal information are excluded from the definition for purposes of use and disclosure, and therefore do not need to be protected. DND employees and CF members may choose to share this excluded information, which is detailed in paragraph 6.3 of the Guideline to Acceptable Use of Internal Wikis and Blogs Within the Government of Canada.
4.9 Personal opinions that relate to the position and functions of the individual as a DND employee or CF member that would have normally been expressed in the course of their duties may be expressed on internal social media sites. In expressing personal opinions, individuals must be respectful of other contributors and of their contributions.

Enquiries Director Ethics Program (DEP)

Overview
General The Defence Ethics Program (DEP) provides a framework to assist DND employees and CF members in maintaining the highest ethical standards of conduct and leadership. A number of tools, supporting policies and guidelines assist DND employees and CF members in implementing the DEP and in meeting the ethical challenges they may face.
The DEP is a values-based program which considers the unique circumstances and requirements of the DND and the CF, and aims to foster the internalization of ethical principles. The values represented in the Statement of Defence Ethics are consistent with the Values and Ethics Code for the Public Service and the A-PA-005-000/AP-000, Duty with Honour: The Profession of Arms in Canada manual. A values-based approach places importance on the core ethical values and principles of the organization and uses them as a guide for professional conduct, rather than merely focusing on compliance with rules.
Statement of Defence Ethics The Statement of Defence Ethics at Annex A provides:
• an objective standard upon which to base ethical expectations; and
• guidance for ethical decision-making and conduct.

Defence Ethics Program
Objectives The objectives of the DEP are to:

• establish and maintain a program framework which clearly defines the desired ethics culture, provides a clear program management structure with sufficient resources, and articulates a clear set of goals;
• define, establish and maintain, within the program framework, an effective ethics process that is relevant to the culture of the DND and the CF;
• provide a framework and context for the ongoing administration and application of policies on conflict of interest; post-employment; gifts, hospitality and other benefits; and sponsorships and donations; and
• establish mechanisms and assistance to help DND employees and CF members raise, discuss and resolve ethical issues.
Ethics Advisory
Board The Ethics Advisory Board (EAB) shall be established under the direction of CRS, and shall consist of persons appointed as ethics coordinators by each environmental chief of staff (ECS) and group principal, and others so designated by CRS.
Defence Ethics
Program Elements The DEP consists of the following elements:
• a clear communication of ethics policy, expectations and guidance;
• a clear requirement for leadership commitment, example and program participation, along with a means for assessment and management of organizational ethical risk and handling of ethics casework;
• a motivational strategy which provides for incentives, program awareness, ethics training, individual self-learning, discussion and open dialogue;
• a range of tools to assist DND employees and CF members in recognizing ethical situations and making ethical decisions;
• a safe and flexible range of options to voice concerns or express an ethical voice, that is consistent with varying ethical situations and circumstances;
• a flexible range of compliance measures to provide for prompt resolution of ethical concerns, consistent with varying situations and circumstances;
• an oversight mechanism that includes performance measurement; and
• a program improvement mechanism to enact program changes as identified and required.
