As part of the Mastercard Foundation EdTech Fellowship implemented by Hive Colab facilitated a two day session on Safeguarding, Child Protection & Disability Inclusion, helping participating ventures of cohort I reflect on how to create safer, more inclusive learning environments
Safeguarding & inclusion must go beyond training. EdTech ventures need practical measures, accessible platforms, clear responsibilities & appropriate reporting procedures to protect users & respond to diverse learner needs.
Responsible innovation starts with putting people first
