Social media

We offer support on using social media for learning and sharing in the workplace

Social media tools – social bookmarking, RSS, blogs, microblogs, wikis, communities of practice – make it easier than ever to create and share content and enables us to communicate in real time across boundaries and hierarchies. NESTA, LGIU and SOCITIM are among several professional bodies highlighting the potential value of these tools. For more information take a look at and comment on our report Social Media in the Social Services.

IRISS encourages the development of a competent and confident workforce by demonstrating how social media can contribute to effective collaborative working.

We are happy to provide advice and support on the use of social media in the workplace.
