At Vatoto.live, the safety and well-being of every child entrusted to our platform is of utmost importance. This Child Safety and Protection Policy outlines our approach to creating a safe, secure, and respectful learning environment for all children using our services, in alignment with global best practices and child rights frameworks.

1. Our Commitment to Child Safety

• We are committed to providing a learning space that is safe, respectful, inclusive, and child-friendly.
• Our teachers, staff, and service providers are trained in basic child safeguarding protocols.
• We prioritize emotional, psychological, and digital safety throughout our platform.

2. Teacher Onboarding & Screening

• All educators undergo a multi-step screening process, including background verification (where applicable), demo classes, and behavior assessments.
• Every instructor is trained in child-centered teaching, online safety conduct, and positive reinforcement.
• We do not permit teachers to share personal contact details or initiate communication outside the official platform.

3. Safe Digital Environment

• All classes are conducted via secure, password-protected meeting links.
• Students are placed in monitored virtual classrooms where only registered participants can join.
• Recording of sessions is done for safety and quality monitoring, and shared only with verified users (student/parent) when necessary.
• Any inappropriate conduct or technical breach is taken seriously and investigated immediately.

4. Behavioral Expectations for Students and Parents

• We encourage respectful behavior by all students and expect parents to support a safe learning culture.
• Bullying, inappropriate language, or disruptive behavior is not tolerated and may result in suspension.
• Feedback, concerns, or suggestions should be shared through official Vatoto.live communication channels.

5. Privacy and Data Protection

• We collect only the minimum required information about your child (e.g., name, age, grade) and use it solely for educational purposes.
• Student data is never sold, misused, or shared with unauthorized third parties.
• We store all user data securely and follow global standards for data encryption and access control.

6. Communication Protocol

• Teachers may contact parents directly for matters related to class updates, student progress, session feedback, leave requests, or scheduling.
• All communication is expected to remain professional, timely, and relevant to the enrolled course.
• Direct contact with students outside of class sessions is not permitted unless initiated in the presence of or with prior approval from the parent.
• Students should never be asked to share their personal phone numbers, emails, or social media details.

7. Reporting Concerns

If you or your child experiences anything uncomfortable, unsafe, or inappropriate, we urge you to:

• Report immediately via email at support@vatoto.live

All reports are handled confidentially, investigated with care, and appropriate action is taken as per our internal guidelines.

8. Role of Parents

• We encourage parents to stay involved by attending orientation sessions, reviewing session recordings, and maintaining open conversations with their children.
• Parents are expected to ensure the child attends classes from a safe and quiet location.
• Any concerns or suggestions from parents are welcomed and responded to promptly.
