At Queencoder Tech School, the safety and well-being of every child is our highest priority. We are committed to providing a safe, respectful, and supportive learning environment for all students aged 6-19.

This policy outlines our responsibilities and the expectations for students and parents during all online learning activities.

We are committed to:

• Creating a safe and positive online learning environment

• Ensuring lessons are age-appropriate and delivered respectfully

• Monitoring student behaviour during classes

• Protecting students from harm, bullying, or inappropriate content

• Reporting any safeguarding concerns to the appropriate channels

• Ensuring all teaching materials are safe, educational, and suitable for children

We take all safeguarding concerns seriously and act in the best interest of the child at all times.

To protect all students during online classes, we follow these guidelines:

We ensure that:

• Classes are delivered through safe and approved online platforms

• No inappropriate or harmful content is shared

• Students’ personal information is kept private

• Cameras and microphones are used only when necessary

To maintain a safe and productive learning environment, all students are expected to follow these rules:

Breaking these rules may lead to:

By working together - school, parents, and students - we create a space where children can learn, create, and grow confidently.
