Maths Unlocked
Maths Unlocked Acceptable Use and Student Safety Policy
1. Purpose
Maths Unlocked is designed to support safe, focused GCSE maths revision.
This policy explains how students and other users should behave when using the platform.
2. Student rules
Students should:
- use Maths Unlocked for learning and revision
- try questions honestly
- keep login details private
- ask for help from a trusted adult if something is confusing
- report anything that seems wrong, unsafe or inappropriate
Students must not:
- share passwords
- use someone else’s account
- pretend to be another person
- try to access another student’s work or data
- enter offensive, abusive, sexual, discriminatory or threatening content
- try to break, hack or misuse the app
- copy paid content and share it publicly
3. No student messaging at launch
Maths Unlocked should not include student-to-student messaging at launch.
This keeps the platform focused on learning and reduces safeguarding risks.
If communication tools are added in future, they will need additional safety controls and policies.
4. Reporting concerns
If a student sees something wrong, unsafe or inappropriate, they should tell:
- a parent or guardian
- a teacher
- a tutor
- another trusted adult
Concerns can also be reported to: mathsunlockedwithmrgillin@gmail.com
5. Educational content concerns
If a question, answer, explanation or diagram appears wrong, users should report it.
Please include:
- the topic
- the question
- what seems wrong
- a screenshot if possible
6. Parent, tutor and teacher role
Adults supporting pupils should:
- encourage safe and honest use
- avoid sharing pupil logins
- only access pupil information where appropriate
- report concerns promptly
- help pupils understand that Maths Unlocked is a revision tool, not a replacement for school support
7. Account action
Maths Unlocked may suspend or remove accounts that are misused or used in a way that could harm others.
