APS Values and Code of Conduct in practice guide updated to including blogging and social media

I'm not quite sure when these edits happened, but reading through the APS Values and Code of Conduct in practice last night I noticed that they have been updated to comprehensively include blogs and social media (particularly Section 15: APS employees as citizens).

If you've not read this recently, it is worth reviewing to see how online channels are now integrated within the code of practice for Australian federal public servants.

This extends the effect of Circular 2008/8: Interim protocols for online media participation.

Social media participation by public servants in Australia is slowly becoming an accepted part of the landscape.
