Yes! As long as your child is at least 10 years old, and has done a little bit of coding (for example, has done a bit of scratch at school), it is fine to join this course.

If your child is 8 or 9 years old and has done a lot of coding (at least a full year), it is also fine to join this course).

We ask that a parent or an adult is present for at least the first 15 minutes of the first session to help the child set up. After that, the parent/adult does not need to stay, but we ask that they are nearby.

As part of our commitment to your child's safety, we have implemented the following measures to secure our online classrooms.

- All blue{shift} classes will have a meeting password. This will be communicated to you by our team.

- All our classrooms have implemented a waiting room feature. Teachers will only admit students to class who have booked a place on a course, and are on the class registers.

- All our blue{shift} teachers have enhanced DBS checks.

We rigorously vet our teachers and ensure their credentials as part of our recruitment process.

We will be constantly reviewing internet regulatory guidance over the coming days and weeks, and making any necessary changes to ensure that all our students have a safe experience!
