Remote and distance learning has become an established industry over recent years, most notably accelerated due to COVID-19 lockdowns. But laws exist to ensure providers act fairly with their users and that users are protected from harm.
E-learning providers should be aware that, to maintain the professionalism of their brand and keep their e-pupils safe, they must comply with various digital regulations which regulate matters such as data protection, e-privacy, online safety, and consumer contractual rights.
Our lawyers can advise on pressing compliance matters for e-learning businesses, including on special rules that apply where there is a significant child userbase accessing the platform.
How do we support E-Learning Providers?
We can provide legal support on the following matters: -
Establishing and/or updating your consumer-facing contractual frameworks, such as Platform T&Cs, Privacy Policies, Acceptable Use Policies, and End User License Agreements, to ensure compliance with relevant consumer contracting laws.
