Safeguarding

Skylarks Learning is committed to ensuring the highest possible standard of safeguarding. The personal safety and well-being of each student and teacher participating in a Skylarks course is paramount. All parents/guardians of students participating in Skylarks courses also have a responsibility to promote the welfare of all children and young people, to keep them safe and to work in a way that protects them. Skylarks Learning will give equal priority to keeping all children and young people safe regardless of their age, disability, race, religion or belief. Skylarks Learning recognises that some children are additionally vulnerable because of the impact of discrimination, previous experiences, their level of dependency, communication needs or other issues. We will follow the code of conduct detailed below.

1. Teachers will listen to the children and treat them with dignity and care.

2. All parents/guardians will remain responsible for the health and safety of their own children whilst participating in Skylarks Learning courses.

3. The teacher will ensure that there is a minimum of two students in any online class. This may mean students remain in the Zoom waiting room at the start of sessions before being admitted to the meeting.

4. If anyone is aware of any incident or allegation of abuse or causes of concern relating to Skylarks Learning, they are to inform the teacher without delay.

6. If anything happens during an online session that causes a serious safeguarding concern, the teacher will end the meeting immediately.

6. Any report of a contravention of the safeguarding policy will be reviewed by Skylarks Learning, who may engage independent child protection consultants to ensure that an appropriate and timely course of action is taken. If a report concerns minor breach of the safeguarding policy, Skylarks Learning will make a decision as to appropriate action which may include barring the reported person from participating in Skylarks courses. If a report is received by Skylarks Learning which concerns the immediate safety of a student or any illegal activity during an online class, they will be required to contact UK police and report the incident.
