ONLINE SAFEGUARDING & PRIVACY

White Rabbit Drama Club's additional measures for online teaching

​

The safety of our pupils is of paramount importance to us, and we have taken the below precautions and guidance, in accordance with the advice of www.nationalonlinesafety.com.

​

We use Zoom Pro to deliver our online lessons and have updated our safeguarding/privacy policy to cover the use of this platform for our online teaching. 

Our policy is as follows:

• Parent/Guardian Zoom account must be used, rather than child’s.

• Parents/Guardians are asked to ensure that children are appropriately dressed for the lesson.

• Parents/Guardians are asked to ensure that the lesson takes place in an open space or room with the door open.

• White Rabbit Drama Club will email Meeting ID and Password on the day of each class and not before.

• Parents are advised not to share the meeting ID or password.

• Meeting ID and password will be renewed weekly.

• We will avoid emailing a direct link to each meeting.

• Waiting room has been enabled and children can only enter with leader permission.

• Our Video and Sound default for pupils entering is ‘OFF’. The drama leader will adjust as pupils arrive.

• Screen sharing is not enabled.

• We never record online lessons and the taking of photos is not be permitted.

• Zoom’s private messaging facility is not enabled.

• If drama leaders feel that a child is inappropriately dressed or the room is unsuitable, they may have to suspend the lesson.

• All leaders require enhanced DBS certificate.

• Once all children have entered the class, the meeting room will be locked to ensure only those signed up to the club can enter.

​

With the above measures in place, we aim to provide the safest and most enjoyable club possible for our young actors.
