Safeguarding children and young people is our top priority when advising MiSP trained teachers if they can deliver our curricula online. Please read the guidance below carefully and follow the advice given.

Can I teach dots, Paws b, .breathe or .b ONLINE to students in their own homes or elsewhere whilst they are not physically attending school?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Generally speaking, no. For safeguarding reasons, it is not appropriate to teach children our curricula online. It is simply not possible to know what is going on for those young people in their home environments. There may be a lack of privacy, unsupportive family members, family discord, high levels of anxiety and stress. Therefore, generally we do not permit<\/u> teaching our curricula to young people, remotely, online. Please see our recent article.<\/a><\/p>\n

In particular, independent external teachers (not employed and salaried by the school) are not permitted to deliver dots<\/strong>, Paws b, .breathe<\/strong> or .b<\/strong> online under any circumstances.<\/p>\n

This is due to both the ages of the children involved and also the nature of the dots<\/strong> materials, practices and activities. For the avoidance of doubt, we do not permit trained dots teachers to deliver this curriculum online to children.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The risks for both student and teacher are just too great, no matter how much benefit you feel they will get from such sessions. PLEASE don\u2019t do it!<\/strong><\/p>\n

In very specific circumstances, you may teach Paws b<\/strong>, .breathe<\/strong> or .b<\/strong> in this way, but only if you meet certain strict criteria …<\/p>\n

Who is eligible to teach .b, Paws b or .breathe ONLINE and what needs to be in place to ensure the safety and wellbeing of both teacher and student?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The only people who should consider teaching Paws b<\/strong>, .breathe<\/strong> and .b<\/strong> remotely are school teachers working with the approval of the school\u2019s Designated Safeguarding Lead and within the framework of their usual school day. You must meet the following criteria:<\/p>\n
