Safeguarding
Safeguarding does not stop once lessons begin.
We maintain open communication with both tutors and families, and take any concerns seriously. If something does not feel right, we encourage it to be raised as early as possible so it can be addressed promptly, sensitively, and appropriately.
Tutor checks and standards
All tutors working through this service are required to meet clear safeguarding standards.
This includes:
An up-to-date DBS check (or equivalent, where applicable)
Relevant subject knowledge and teaching experience
A professional, respectful approach to working with students
We take time to ensure tutors are suitable not just on paper, but in how they communicate and conduct themselves.
Online tutoring and lesson environment
Most lessons take place online. Online tutoring can be safe, effective, and supportive when handled properly.
Expectations include:
Lessons conducted in a professional, appropriate environment
Clear boundaries around communication and lesson content
A focus on respectful, supportive interaction at all times
Where appropriate, parents are welcome to be aware of lesson arrangements and remain involved.
Ongoing oversight and support
Our aim is to create a tutoring environment where students feel safe, supported, and able to focus on learning.
Safeguarding is approached with care, clarity, and common sense — prioritising the wellbeing of students while maintaining trust and professionalism on all sides.
