Policies & Statements<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>

Children and Privacy\u00a0<\/span><\/h4>
Bee-Plus.org LTD <\/strong> website does not target and is not intended to attract children under the age of 13. Bee-Plus.org LTD<\/strong> will never send requests for personal information.\u00a0<\/h5>
Any owner or user of a Bee-Plus.org account must be at least 13 years of age.<\/h5>
If you are the parent or guardian of a child under the age of 13\u00a0and wish to use a Bee-Plus.org course to help with their education (e.g. homeschooling), you should use your own Bee-Plus.org account to work through the materials with them, and take part in any conversations as yourself.<\/h5>

Code of Conduct<\/span><\/h4>
We believe that part of what makes learning with Bee-Plus.org special is the chance to talk to other learners from all over the world, and learn from each other.<\/h5>
Being a part of this learning community means behaving with honesty, respect and kindness to fellow learners and educators.<\/h5>

Therefore, as a Bee-Plus.org student, you agree that:<\/em><\/h3>
You are at least 13 years old.<\/strong><\/h5>
Any owner or user of a Bee-Plus.org account must be at least 13 years of age. If you are the parent or guardian of a child under the age of 13\u00a0and wish to use a Bee-Plus.org course to help with their education (e.g. home schooling), you should use your own Bee-Plus.org account to work through the materials with them, and take part in any conversations as yourself.<\/h5>
You will communicate in English only. This is because communicating with lots of people becomes very difficult if everyone comments in a different language.<\/h5>
You have registered for one account only, and use an appropriate profile name<\/strong><\/h5>
On your Bee-Plus.org profile, we encourage you to use the name that you prefer to be known by in your daily life. However, if you have privacy or safety concerns, you are welcome to use a different profile name or to just use an initial for part of it. Profile names must not impersonate another person (living or dead), other users, or brands, and must be in line with the rest of this Code of Conduct.<\/h5>
You will not share your personal contact details on the Bee-Plus.org platform, or ask another learner for theirs.<\/em><\/h5>
We consider personal contact details to include email address, postal address or telephone number, or direct communication tools. This is for safety and privacy reasons: you don\u2019t know who might be reading your comment and who may contact you other than the person you thought you were sharing your details with. It is fine to provide links to a social network such as Twitter, Instagram or Facebook, but please make sure you are happy with your privacy settings before you do.<\/h5>
The comments and assignments you post are your own work, and if you quote anything from another place (including other comments), you credit the author.<\/h5>
Do not copy another learner\u2019s comment and pretend that it is your own. If you agree with a comment, \u2018like\u2019 it instead or leave a reply. If you wish to quote text from another source, remember to show where it came from. If it\u2019s from the web, include the URL.<\/h5>
You are respectful of others, and do not use words or share content that is offensive or inflammatory.<\/em><\/strong><\/h5>
This includes, but is not limited to, language, names or content that is sexist, racist, homophobic, transphobic, antisemitic, Islamophobic, sexually explicit, abusive, contains swearing or is otherwise likely to cause offence.<\/h5>
Remember that you are in an inclusive learning environment shared with\u00a0people who may be of different ages, nationalities, religions, cultures and backgrounds, with different knowledge, ability and experience to you.<\/h5>
Communicating online through text can lead to misunderstandings, so it is important to give other people the benefit of the doubt, and be kind<\/u><\/em><\/strong> in your interactions: sometimes it\u2019s difficult to know or fully appreciate the situation of the person you are talking to<\/h5>
If you disagree with someone’s ideas you will discuss their ideas, rather than criticise or attack them personally.<\/em><\/strong><\/h5>
We consider a personal attack to be any negative comment directed to or about an individual that is about them personally, or uses personal information against them. This applies to comments directed at tutors and course contributors, as well as learners, for example comments about the physical appearance of a contributor\u00a0in a video. If a comment is believed to be libellous, it may be hidden for legal reasons. Do not\u00a0persistently argue\u00a0with another learner or a tutor. If you aren\u2019t able to resolve your differences, you should stop communicating with them, otherwise you may have to leave the course.<\/h5>
You take part in quiz and assessments honestly, and don\u2019t share the answers. It\u2019s fine to share the answers when the course or tutor requests you to do so.<\/h5>
If there\u2019s a story as part of the course, please don\u2019t share \u2018spoilers\u2019!<\/h5>
You are supportive and constructive when offering feedback to other learners in activities such as Peer Review and discussions.<\/em><\/strong><\/h5>
Feedback\u00a0should be offered in order to help the recipient, rather than make them feel bad.\u00a0Giving constructive feedback is a skill in itself and extremely valuable to the learning process.<\/h5>
You are law-abiding and do not participate in, condone or encourage unlawful or potentially harmful activity.<\/em><\/strong><\/h5>
This includes threatening or encouraging\u00a0suicide or self-harm,\u00a0as well as\u00a0breach of copyright, defamation, or contempt of court. You must not offer unsolicited health advice to other learners, even if you are qualified or knowledgeable in that area.<\/h5>
You are here to learn, not to advertise products or services, and you will not use Bee-Plus.org as a platform for campaigning.<\/em><\/strong><\/h5>
This includes personal and not-for-profit websites. It is fine to include a link to your personal website in your Bee-Plus.org profile. It is also fine to link to commercial websites when requested to\u00a0in activity\u00a0as part of a course.<\/h5>
However, if you repeatedly post comments to promote or campaign for something, even if it is not commercial, this will be considered spam (see below).<\/h5>
You add to conversations and do not \u2018spam\u2019 other learners by posting the same comment multiple times, or by posting comments that are unrelated to the course. Completely off-topic comments and identical (or near-identical) comments posted repeatedly will be considered spam.\u00a0Off-topic comments are not related to the overall subject of a course or to the specific subject of the step. It is natural for conversation to drift, but completely unrelated comments can be disruptive and frustrate other learners.<\/h5>
You will help the Bee-Plus.org community by reporting comments that you believe have broken this Code of Conduct.<\/h5>
In essence,<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0be kind to each other, treating others as you would like to be treated. <\/em><\/strong><\/h5><\/div>
