Safeguarding and Assurances

Choosing a tutor is about more than just academic results; it’s about trust. As a father myself, I know that nothing is more important than the safety and well-being of your child. When you invite a tutor into your home or onto a digital screen, you need absolute peace of mind.

With 14 years of experience as both a classroom teacher and a private tutor, I have built my practice on a foundation of rigorous safety standards and professional integrity. To provide you with total confidence, I maintain a comprehensive suite of protections and professional memberships:

• Enhanced DBS Clearance: I hold an Enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service check, the highest level of criminal record check available in the UK.

• The Tutors' Association Member: As a member of the UK's only professional body for tutoring, I adhere to a strict Code of Professional Practice. I am also fully insured -  for your protection and mine, I carry Public Liability Insurance and Professional Indemnity Insurance with Morton Michel Ltd who also provide me with up to date training for all the necessary assurances (Keeping Children Safe in Education KCSIE, Fire Safety, First Aid, County Lines and Prevent).

My approach to safeguarding isn't just about ticking boxes or renewing certificates; it is deeply personal. I ensure that every session is transparent, professional, and focused on creating a "brave space" where students feel safe to take risks with their learning. I am committed to maintaining an environment where your child can thrive. This includes:

1. Open Communication: Parents are always welcome to observe sessions or discuss any concerns.

2. Regular Training: I stay up-to-date with the latest safeguarding protocols and digital safety guidelines.

3. Clear Boundaries: Maintaining professional conduct at all times, whether in-person or online.

You aren’t just hiring a tutor; you are partnering with a professional who values your child’s safety as much as you do.
