What Safeguarding Means to Us

Safeguarding the responsibility of everyone, it is about more than just protection—it's about creating an environment where children feel safe, supported, and listened to.

This includes:

Preventing abuse and neglect
Promoting emotional wellbeing
Ensuring safe online learning
Acting quickly if concerns arise

Our Safeguarding Measures

DBS Checks: All tutors undergo enhanced DBS checks and provide references before working with any student.
Code of Conduct: Tutors maintain professional boundaries at all times, both in person and online and are bound by the teaching standards.
Online Safety: Sessions are delivered using secure, approved platforms. Parents/carers are encouraged to be aware of when and how their child is engaging in tuition.

Recognising and Responding to Concerns

Our tutors are trained to recognise the signs of:

Physical, emotional or sexual abuse
Neglect or exploitation
Online grooming or radicalisation

If a tutor has a concern or a child discloses something worrying, we act immediately and follow the correct procedures, including contacting safeguarding authorities if necessary.
