Hi James, thanks for your question. There is no reason for schools to let a lack of knowledge put them off online teaching when moving lessons online will be such a valuable lifeline for music teachers (1/3) #AskTheMU
There are safeguarding implications for all teaching but it's entirely possible to adapt face to face safeguarding practices to online teaching as well. Our Education Department has put together detailed advice > musiciansunion.org.uk/Home/Advice/co… (2/3) #AskTheMU
