LifeLabOnline.org features educational programmes developed by LifeLab, University of Southampton, and the NIHR Southampton Biomedical Research Centre.  

We believe that:

• Young people should never experience abuse of any kind.  
• We have a responsibility to take all reasonable measures to ensure that the risks of harm to an individual’s welfare are minimised, and that where there are concerns about young people’s welfare, all appropriate actions are taken to address those concerns.

We have taken measures to ensure our website and learning management system platform are secure. All content has been created by qualified educators and is subject to peer review.     

When using LifeLab resources, teachers should continue to follow the safeguarding policies and procedures of the educational institution to which they and their students belong.    

As part of the University of Southampton, the safeguarding policies issued by LifeLab and the University apply to the activities of LifeLabOnline.org: 

• LifeLab Safeguarding Policy, Protocol and Reporting Procedures
