Safeguarding & Compliance - How Gaia Learning supports schools with safeguarding, data protection and inspection-ready reporting

Gaia Learning works in partnership with schools and Local Authorities to provide high-quality online education for pupils who need additional or alternative support. Safeguarding, data protection and clear accountability are central to how we operate.

This page outlines how we support schools to meet their statutory responsibilities while pupils remain on roll.

  • A Designated Safeguarding Lead (DSL) and Deputy DSL
  • Safeguarding policies aligned with Keeping Children Safe in Education (KCSIE)
  • Regular safeguarding training for all staff
  • Robust safer recruitment procedures
  • Clear internal reporting and escalation processes
  • Immediate communication with schools or Local Authorities where concerns arise
  • Live sessions led by trained educators
  • Clear expectations around behaviour and engagement
  • Secure digital platforms with controlled access
  • No unmoderated pupil interaction
  • Active monitoring of attendance and participation
  • Clear procedures for responding to non-attendance or disengagement

  • Weekly attendance and engagement summaries
  • Learning progress updates
  • Observations on participation and wellbeing
  • Records of communication and interventions
  • Immediate notification of safeguarding concerns

"Huge thank you for the support with this complex case. The last minute onboarding, weekly feedback and ease of renewal was very helpful.

The care and nurture provided through XXXX one to one provision helped support him to group learning and now back into school. Thank you!"
