explaining accessing MS Teams through Hwb is available on YouTube

• They will be then sent an invitation to the Team meeting which will be on his/ her
calendar

• discuss roles and responsibilities and provide a short tutorial on the system at the
outset of all lessons
• ensure that no lessons are recorded
• ensure that they keep themselves up to date with all relevant policies and
procedures, including online safety, safeguarding and data protection policies
• prevent a one to one situation at the end of an online class by ending the lessons
for all participants from Teams
