Elena's name has been changed for privacy, but her story remains the same.
Born and raised in Spain, Elena has lived in Edinburgh for the past 8 years, working as a Spanish teacher in a small, close-knit primary school since 2019.
Having passed the school's background checks in 2019, including an in-house social media search, online risks weren't on Elena's radar whatsoever 🔍.
Just several months ago, a new parent at Elena's school decided to browse Elena's social media, keen to check she was a good role model for their child. When scrolling through Elena's following list on Twitter/X, the parent discovered that she was following an influencer who had recently begun to share anti-British and hateful content. This led to the parent launching a formal complaint through the school's procedures.
Determined to showcase her risk-free status to her school, Elena came to right2socials for a Social Media Check. Elena felt empowered to confidently take control of her online identity by using the right2socials resources available.
When Elena met with the school's leadership team, she was able to provide evidence of a worry free Social Digital Record (SDR), which led to the school keeping Elena as a valued member of its teaching staff and putting the new parent's concerns to rest.
"Now that I've put my SDR on my CV, any future employers can see that my values align with the DfE's Teachers' Standards. It's reassuring to know history won't repeat itself!"
Even when you're settled in a job, checking your Social Digital Record (SDR) is crucial for career longevity. Take control before they scroll!
