Minors, Supervision and Data

Visual Reading Online offers services which can involve the coaching of students under the age of 18 and/or other 'vulnerable' groups.

The coaching of minors and/or 'vulnerable' persons will usually take place via scheduled online video-calls but in rare cases, they may take place via scheduled in-person coaching depending on what a parent or guardian has requested and arranged with us.

Parental or guardian consent is always required for such coaching sessions to take place and we also require that a parent or guardian is present or can at least observe/listen in on what is happening during any such coaching sessions.

We reserve the right for our coaches to refuse to engage in a coaching session that involve a minor or 'vulnerable' person until such time as a parent or guardian is present and/or they can actively monitor what is happening within the coaching session. This is as much for the protection of our coaches as it is for the protection any minor or 'vulnerable' person.

We strongly encourage parents or guardians to take an active role in the Visual Reading program along with their child/ward - and to encourage the student to attend and engage with our scheduled coaching sessions and any daily practice that may be required.

While coaching is always aimed at the individual being coached, a parent or guardian may interject or ask questions at any time during a coaching session provided this does not cause significant disruptions or time delays to our scheduled coaching sessions.

Visual Reading Online does not store or process the personal details of minors or any other 'vulnerable' persons on our systems and we ask that a parent or guardians personal details be used to register for our coaching sessions or any of our other products and or services which will be used by or delivered to a minor or 'vulnerable' person.

The 'minor' or 'vulnerable' persons first name and their approximate age (in years not DOB) and any relevant information which may impact our coaching session's and that our coaches should there for be aware of, should be entered into the 'notes' section of your website user account profile (which should be managed by a parent or guardian) and three months after the completion of the subjects course, these notes will be automatically deleted by our systems.

Visual Reading Online will always act upon any reports of 'wrong doing' by representatives of our organisation towards children or 'vulnerable' people.

We reserve the right to report any such wrong doing to the Police or other law enforcement or 'protection' agency, and we also reserve the right to report any finding of such activities that an employee or third-party coach working on behalf of Visual Reading Online may discover or encounter during the delivery of our coaching and/or services to any student or customer.
