Safeguarding

How I keep your teen safe

These are the rules I follow in every class, written out so you know exactly what happens before your teen joins one.

Enrolled students only

Every class uses a waiting room

In class

Groups have six students at most, and I'm teaching live for the whole class.
Every class uses a Zoom waiting room, and I only let in students who are enrolled.
Cameras stay on, so I can see that everyone is okay and following along.
In school sessions, a member of the school's staff is always in the room.

I never message students on personal social media.
Class messages go to parents, or to students with a parent copied in.
Parents get a short update halfway through each programme, and another at the end.

Sessions may be recorded so absent students can catch up. Only that group sees them, and they're deleted when the programme ends.
Nothing goes public without written permission from the student and a parent.
Testimonials only ever show a first name, last initial and city.
I only keep the information I need to run classes. I never sell it or pass it on.

I follow each AI tool's age rules. If a student is too young for a tool, I use it on my screen and they watch.
Students learn never to type their own or anyone else's personal details into an AI tool.
We talk openly about what AI gets wrong, and about when using it in schoolwork crosses a line.
The student makes the decisions about their work. AI is one of the tools they use to get it done.
