55: How charities can tackle online hate

06/08/21 • 47 min

Charities Against Hate (CAH) recently released 16 recommendations for social media companies to tackle online abuse. The recommendations arrive as the government aims to introduce the Online Safety Bill. The Bill will establish more regulation for social media platforms, but CAH are concerned the Bill may not do enough to protect the most vulnerable.
Today’s podcast will take a look at what charities can do to tackle online hate. We will discuss, among other things, short-term actions charities can take and long-term goals they can develop, how charities can support staff and volunteers, and what social media companies should be doing to tackle online abuse.
Our host Nick Wyatt is joined by Imran Ahmed, CEO of the Center for Countering Digital Hate, Alex Hodges, Head of Corporate Comms and Public Affairs at Help for Heroes, and Aisling Green, Digital Marketing Strategist at Parkinson’s UK.

54: What is the future of work for charities?

Although life is returning (somewhat) to normal, our working practices are still a grey area. Some charities continue to work from home full-time. Others are embracing the office once again. Many are adopting a combination of the two.
This week, we discuss findings from Blackbaud's ‘Future of Work’ report and what these mean for the charity office landscape. Among other things, our speakers chat about our changing expectations of the office and how these will impact charity leadership, diversity and technology.
Alison Lowe, Chief Executive at Touchstone, and Phil Hunt, Campaign Marketing Manager at Blackbaud Europe, join Nick Wyatt, Growth Marketing Executive at Charity Digital, for today's episode.

56: GDPR three years on: where is the sector at now?

In March 2020, we held our annual #BeMoreDigital Conference virtually.
Now, we're bringing you some of the best sessions as podcast episodes for you to enjoy!
The Data Protection Act of 2018, commonly known as GDPR, has now been in place for nearly three years. Most organisations will have seen their working environment has changed drastically since GDPR was first enforced. But charities are still dealing with large amounts of sensitive data on a daily basis. Now that you find yourself in a new operating environment, it's a great time to revisit your data security approach. In this episode from the conference, The National Cyber Security Centre will present their GDPR Security Outcomes, written jointly with the ICO. They’ll help you to understand whether you are still taking appropriate measures to secure your data.
