Lessons in social media for pupils using Facebook

Pupils in Wales could soon get advice on avoiding the pitfalls of using social media and prevent damaging their future career prospects.

A pilot scheme will give tips on avoiding posting compromising or embarrassing photos on sites such as Facebook or Twitter.

It will include advice on protecting personal information and staying safe.

The pilot scheme is being run by the office of the information commissioner, a UK body which promotes data privacy as part of its role.

Here, Anne Jones, assistant information commissioner, tells Carl Roberts from Sunday Politics Wales more about the work.
