Safety On-line We want to make sure that you are safe online. We take the threat of online abuse and cyberbullying seriously. To protect you from this there are things that we will do, and things that we need you to do to keep everyone safe and make sure everyone can enjoy the Global Campus online. What we do to keep you safe We have made sure that you have a safe area online and this is called Moodle. Students and teachers are the only people who can get onto Moodle, which isn’t open to children or adults outside of the Nord Anglia family. We make sure that you have to have a log in to Global Campus online and can only access this through your in school Moodle. We ensure that we can check who all users are. All contributions are moderated. All adults working on the site are approved to work with students. If moderators see anything that should not be on Moodle it is removed quickly. All students are made aware of the online safety instructions. More information on the Parents Area of the Global Campus 27
