Are you dedicated to providing a secure and nurturing tutoring environment for your students?
Safeguarding means the measures which you put in place to ensure the protection of safety, health and wellbeing of children and vulnerable adults. As tutors and tutor agencies you have a duty of care for the children, young people or vulnerable adults who you work with.
It's not enough to say that you understand safeguarding or that you're committed to it. You MUST be able to prove it.
