Safeguarding and Tutoring
Building Trust Through Verified Credentials
Tutors working with children face unique challenges in proving credibility and safety to parents while navigating complex safeguarding requirements.
Whether your team teach in homes, tutoring centres, or online, establishing trust is essential for success.

The Challenges Tutors Face
-
Proving Your Credentials
Parents need assurance that you're qualified, vetted, and safe to work with their children. Traditional paper-based checks are slow, easily lost, and difficult to verify. -
Multiple Verification Requests
Each new family may ask for the same documents repeatedly - DBS certificates, qualifications, references, and ID verification - creating administrative burden. -
Maintaining Professional Standards
You must demonstrate ongoing compliance with safeguarding requirements while building trust with families who are inviting you into their homes or their children's lives.
Safeguarding Tips for Tutors
- Agree on session structure: Clarify activities, location, and any special educational needs or disabilities (SEND) support required.
- Establish parent presence: Ensure parents/carers remain within earshot - you should never be completely alone with a child.
- Share your policies: Explain your safeguarding and child protection procedures, including child-friendly versions.
- Physical setup: Use appropriate furniture with adequate space between you and the child.
- Online considerations: Use neutral backgrounds and only share necessary screen content.
- Work in rooms with windows and open curtains
- Keep doors open during sessions
- Ensure another adult is within earshot
- Never allow parents to leave children unattended with you
- Keep detailed session notes
- Provide regular updates to parents about progress and concerns
- Document any challenging behaviours or learning difficulties
