CHILD SAFEGUARDING
A safe and respectful learning environment.
Children's safety, dignity and privacy must remain central to every learning interaction.
DRAFT FRAMEWORK — The institute must approve a named safeguarding lead, verified contact details, escalation process, staff training and guardian-consent policy before publication.
Guardian verification and consent
Learners below the institute's approved age threshold must be linked to a verified parent or legal guardian and complete the approved consent process before restricted services are enabled.
Safe communication
Adult staff communication with minors must use approved, auditable channels and appropriate guardian visibility. Unmonitored private adult-to-minor messaging is not permitted.
Reporting a concern
A production policy must show verified safeguarding contact details and an escalation route. Do not imply 24-hour monitoring unless the institute actually provides it.
Restricted records
Child profiles, recordings, submissions and safeguarding reports require restricted access, defined retention and careful disclosure rules.
