A primary school has apologised to parents after OnlyFans was listed amongst acceptable social media accounts for staff.
Delph Side Primary School in Skelmersdale, Lancashire, wrote in one of their policies the platform, which features sexual acts and pornography, was a ‘primary form of communication between friends and family’.
This meant it would be ‘unreasonable’ not to allow staff to use it.
The policy reads: ‘The use of social networking/media sites such as Facebook, Twitter, TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, Snapchat and Only Fans has over recent years become the primary form of communication between friends and family.
‘It would not be reasonable to expect or instruct employees not to use these sites which, if used with caution, should have no impact whatsoever on their role in school.’

Headteacher Liz Ormerod said the platform has now been removed from their policy, and at the time it was put on did not reflect OnlyFans current reputation where users can pay accounts for explicit images and videos, The Echo reports.
Ms Ormerod said: ‘Although the school’s social media policy was last updated in 2025, this section had not been updated since 2022, and the reference does not mean the school endorses or approves use of the platform by staff.
‘The wording is out of date and does not reflect the platform’s current association with adult content.’
‘All staff are expected to maintain the highest professional standards at all times and are subject to strict safeguarding and conduct requirements.
‘We apologise for any concern this may have caused.’
