EDSafe: Real-time Online Safeguarding

Live Monitoring of Safety and Wellbeing Online

EDSafe ensures that our team of experienced Designated Safeguarding Leads (DSLs) and Deputy Designated Safeguarding Leads (DDSLs) are actively monitoring every student’s stream (when they are placed on an EDClass seat) within the EDClass platform in real-time.

This constant oversight ensures that any potential safeguarding triggers or concerns are identified as they emerge, regardless of the learning activity the student is engaged in.

It also shows that safeguarding is at the core of the EDClass platform.

EDSafe provides an unparalleled level of safeguarding and support for your students’ well-being and safety whilst learning. This includes:

Live Teaching Scheduled and Timetabled Sessions (EDLive)

We have eyes on your students as they participate in live, interactive lessons.

Live Breakout Rooms (EDTeach)

Our team monitors follow-up lessons and seminars conducted in live breakout rooms.

On-Demand Lessons (EDSupport)

Even when students are working through pre-recorded lessons at their own pace, their activity streams are being observed.

Safeguarding, Monitoring and Governance

EDSafe provides a powerful, always-on safeguarding net for your students within EDClass, combining the vigilance of our dedicated safeguarding team with complete transparency and access for your own staff, ultimately creating a safer and more supportive online learning experience.

Instant Flagging and Proactive Intervention

The EDClass platform is designed with intelligent flagging capabilities. Any potential safeguarding issues – whether they arise in a student's communication, their responses to learning materials, their online behaviour, or any other action within the EDClass environment – are instantly flagged within the EDSafe module.

This immediate notification allows our EDClass DSLs and DDSLs to review the situation and take appropriate action without delay. This proactive approach ensures that safeguarding concerns are addressed swiftly and effectively, minimising any potential negative impact on the student's teaching and learning.

Complete Tracking and Evidence for Governance

Everything a student says, does, answers, and any action they take on their stream within the EDClass platform is directly recorded and placed into your school's secure platform access. This detailed tracking provides a robust evidence base for:

Monitoring student engagement and well-being.
Students safeguarding alerts and issues.
Identifying patterns of behaviour that may indicate a concern.
Demonstrating proactive safeguarding measures for management and governance within your school.
Providing clear evidence for Ofsted inspections, showcasing the extra levels of safeguarding you provide to all your learners in the online environment.

Empowering your School's Safeguarding Capacity

The EDClass staff within EDSafe act as an extension of your own school's safeguarding team, significantly increasing your capacity to protect your students in the online environment.

Because our safeguarding team is constantly watching the live streams of every student on our platform, we provide an extra layer of security and early detection that would be incredibly resource-intensive for a single school to achieve on its own in a purely online setting.

Comprehensive Overview of Online Activity

The EDSafe module provides a comprehensive overview of all learners' online activity and any flagged safeguarding concerns.

Importantly, your establishment's own DSLs and DDSLs also have full access to view all learners' streams within the platform, giving you complete visibility of your students' online interactions and any potential risks identified by our team.

This collaborative approach ensures seamless communication and a unified safeguarding strategy.
