Online Learning Safeguarding Guidelines

There will be further guidance on how we are using Microsoft Teams for your learning at your first session, but please note these general guidelines which we offer to ensure that everyone is comfortable and stays safe in our online classrooms:

• You will only be able to access your session with the password/link you have been sent. Please enter your first name and the first letter of your family name so that the tutor recognises you and can invite you into the session. Please do not share this link with anyone else.
• Please consider what is visible on camera in an online session – backgrounds should be as neutral as possible, avoiding, for example, family photographs, noticeboards, views which identify where you live; and family members, pets or other distractions!
• Tutors will start and end the session: learners will not be left alone together in the session once it has finished, and the tutor is leaving.
• If the tutor’s connection to the session is lost, please leave the session. The tutor will try to contact you if it is possible to restart the session.
• For family learning courses children should never be in the session without their parent/carer learner/s.
