Remote Learning Information

Safeguarding

During the delivery of virtual lessons, especially where webcams are involved:

Only the child of the class may participate in live sessions and no other members of the household.
Staff and children must wear suitable clothing, as should anyone else in the household.
Any computers used must be in appropriate areas, for example, not in bedrooms; and the background should be blurred.
Only the child in the class invited is permitted to participate in the live lesson/session and no other members of the household.
The live class will be recorded so that if any issues were to arise, the video can be reviewed and they will be stored for no more than one half term, being deleted at the start of each new half term.
Pupils and other members of the household are not permitted to record live sessions on any device, or to download, save or share any recorded sessions.
Live classes should be kept to a reasonable length of time, or the streaming may prevent the family ‘getting on’ with their day.
Language (both verbal and written) must be professional and appropriate, including any family members in the background or using the communication platforms.
Staff will only use platforms provided by Burhill Primary School to communicate with pupils.
Staff should record, the length, time, date and attendance of any sessions held.
