The Government uses a range of channels to reach and engage the public. Any use of these platforms would be assessed against the high standards for digital safety set out in the Government Communication Service (GCS) SAFE framework. Neither WeChat or Telegram are currently used to promote government communications. Currently TikTok can only be used in exceptional circumstances.
