Case Study
Safeguarding:
One of the key elements of DAIGON is that the access to games is via a secure login on their portal. This ensures that students are only playing among and against known students from other ECIS schools and no ‘unknown’ participants can access. The platform is a secure portal which only requires a student email to access and no other identifiable information.
