As a leader in online education, I feel it is important to highlight the critical importance of safeguarding in online education, a priority that resonates deeply with our community at Queen’s Online School. While the effectiveness of online safeguarding training is rightly under scrutiny, we believe proactive practices and daily engagement are essential in ensuring the well-being of our students.
At Queen’s Online School, we encourage all students to actively participate in virtual lessons using their cameras and microphones. This daily interaction allows teachers to better connect with students, observe their engagement, and monitor their overall well-being. These simple but impactful practices create a supportive online environment where students feel seen, heard, and valued.
By fostering open communication and maintaining strong connections, we ensure that safeguarding extends beyond policies into meaningful action. Building vibrant online communities that prioritise well-being ensures not only academic success but also the emotional and social health of our students. Together, we’re creating a safe and nurturing space where every learner can thrive.
