I don’t understand posters objecting to safeguarding concerns from the teachers’ perspective, like we are all whinging on about something extremely rare and very easy to deal with.
I’ve worked in secondary schools for years. It’s a very frequent occurrence for students to simply use still photographs from, for example, the school website to create digitally-altered pornographic images using their teachers’ faces. Or to create fake social media accounts to then send lewd or abusive messages to other students “from the teacher”.
These incidents are not few and far between, I’m sorry to say. And they absolutely ARE a huge safeguarding concern for members of staff.
From my own current experience, I am actually teaching live lessons via Microsoft Teams to small classes of very diligent private school students, at the school where I am currently long-term supply. I am happy to do this because: it’s fairly easy to deliver these lessons to a class of 8 students who all have incredible amounts of tech and a tidy and quiet workspace at home, thanks to their wealthy and supportive parents; and I trust these particular students not to do the above to me.
If I were still working in state with large, unpredictable classes? No. I would personally not consent to put myself in the firing line (possibly quite literally) like that. You’re too vulnerable to abuse.
Other teachers who are not delivering either live or pre-recorded lessons have my full support. There are other ways of delivering work to students remotely during these awful times.
People criticising teachers for not wanting to teach using video, live or otherwise, do please read and consider my point above. It’s only one point, there are of course many other safeguarding issues to consider which have been otherwise detailed on this thread.
