Your child’s safety comes first.
In person and online, these are the promises we keep to every family. If you are ever worried about a child, tell us straight away.
- 01
A named safeguarding lead
Patricia Jura, Director is responsible for safeguarding at Waridi Cottage, in person and online.
- 02
Checked, trained teachers
Every teacher has a background check before teaching (a police certificate of good conduct in Kenya, and the local equivalent elsewhere), renewed regularly, and safeguarding training.
- 03
Lessons only on Waridi’s links
Live lessons happen only on the class link in Waridi Classroom, never on personal accounts or numbers.
- 04
No private messages
Teachers do not message children privately. Everything about your child’s learning is in Waridi Classroom, where you can see it.
- 05
Parents see everything
Every assignment, mark, comment, register and report for your child is visible in your parent login.
- 06
Accounts made by us
Only Waridi Cottage creates accounts. Learners have usernames, not email or social accounts, and their work is private to them, their parents and their teachers.
- 07
Children’s data handled carefully
We collect only what we need, keep it private by default, and ask your consent before any photo or recording is used.
Tell us, straight away.
If you are worried about the safety or wellbeing of any child at Waridi, in person or online, contact our safeguarding lead directly. Every concern is taken seriously, recorded and acted on.

Ground rules for live lessons.
- Teachers use a neutral background and keep lessons to the timetable
- Learners join from a shared space at home, not a bedroom, wherever possible
- One-to-one lessons can be joined by a parent at any time
- Lessons are not recorded without parents’ written consent
