Safe Guarding at Super Tutors

Before starting, a tutor should have a thorough background check, including criminal records and enhanced DBS (Disclosure and Barring Service) checks. 

A tutor should be well-versed in and adhere to the safeguarding policies and procedures of the institution they are working for or the area they are working in. 

The tutoring environment should be safe and comfortable for the student. This includes choosing a public or well-supervised location for in-person tutoring sessions, or using secure and monitored online platforms for virtual sessions. 

A tutor should always maintain a professional relationship with the student, avoiding any inappropriate contact or conversations. 

If a tutor has any concerns about a student's welfare, they should report them immediately to the appropriate authority, whether that is a school official, a parent or guardian, or child protective services. 

A tutor should receive ongoing training in safeguarding to stay updated on the latest best practices and legal requirements. 

A tutor should respect the privacy of the student and their family and not share any personal information unless it is necessary for the student's well-being and with the appropriate authorities. 

Before starting the tutoring sessions, a tutor should assess any potential risks that might arise during the tutoring sessions and take necessary precautions. 

 All teaching materials used should be age-appropriate and culturally sensitive. 

A tutor should maintain clear communication with parents or guardians about the progress of the student and any concerns that may arise.

Remember, safeguarding is not just about protecting children from harm, but also about ensuring their overall well-being and creating an environment in which they can thrive.
