Here’s a quick overview of how we keep students safe and supported. You can view the full policy below.

LUDUS Art School is committed to creating a safe, respectful, and well-structured learning environment, particularly for students learning online.

Key points:

  • All communication takes place via Podia or email only (no private messaging or informal channels)

  • Check-ins are pre-arranged, and a parent or carer should be present or aware

  • A responsible adult must be present in the home for students under 18

  • The online community is moderated and structured, with clear expectations for respectful interaction

  • Clear boundaries are maintained between students and tutor at all times

  • Safeguarding training, DBS certification, and appropriate insurance are in place

  • Concerns can be raised at any time and will be handled sensitively and appropriately

We aim to create a calm and supportive environment where students can feel confident, safe, and able to focus on their learning.
