Bluesky: Government Departments

Asked by Charlie DewhirstConservativeCabinet OfficeTabled Answered 19 March 2025UIN 37815

The question

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, pursuant to the Answer of 13 December 2024 to Question 18214 on 10 Downing Street: Social Media, which Civil Service organisations have a Blue Sky social media channel; and what guidance has GCS given on joining Blue Sky.

Answered by Georgia Gould

The Government uses a range of channels to reach and engage the public. Any use of these platforms is assessed against the high standards for digital safety set out in the Government Communication Service (GCS) SAFE framework.

Individual departments make their own decisions on the best platforms to communicate with the public within the GCS SAFE framework.
