Child Safeguarding Policy

Effective: August 2026 · Applies to all Aarohi faculty and assistant teachers, online and offline.

  1. Parental presence: for students under 12, a parent/guardian must be present or immediately reachable during every class.
  2. Recorded classes: all online classes with minors are recorded with consent and retained for 90 days.
  3. Communication: teachers never contact minors privately on social media or messaging; all scheduling goes through the parent’s WhatsApp/email.
  4. Two-adult rule: any in-person event (recitals, festival) follows a two-adult supervision rule.
  5. Conduct: no class proceeds if the child is alone in a private space with camera off; cameras remain on by default.

  7. Review: policy reviewed annually by the society’s governing body.
