Social media community guidelines 

Creating a safe online environment for all users.

We encourage users to engage with our content, share feedback and express their views. We do, however, expect them to follow our guidelines to ensure the community remains welcoming and productive for everyone. 

Guidelines

We will hide or delete content that is deemed:

  • abusive or obscene
  • graphic, sensitive or offensive imagery
  • deceptive or misleading
  • in violation of any intellectual property rights
  • in violation of any law or regulation
  • spam (persistent negative and/or abusive posting in which the aim is to provoke a response)

All users must comply with each platform's terms of use as well as these guidelines. 

You are entirely responsible for any content you post including what you choose to share.

We will report any social media accounts that appear to be impersonating the Bank of England by using our logo, imagery or content without permission.

By engaging with our social media channels, you are agreeing to adhere to these guidelines.

Responding to users

We will do our best to respond to your enquiries on social media where possible. Alternatively, find out how you can contact us
