The following of any SEUPB social media account, does not automatically equate a follow back. The SEUPB will use hashtags and mention other social media accounts where appropriate. 

Following, tagging, the use of hashtags, retweeting/sharing of posts or the mention of other accounts by the SEUPB does not imply endorsement of any kind.
 

Abusive or spam posts will result in accounts or users being blocked and reported directly to channel administration.
