Safeguarding Training for Tutors

Tutors, whether working online, in homes, or in schools, occupy a position of trust and responsibility. Their role extends beyond academic instruction to include the safeguarding and well-being of their students.

Safeguarding training equips tutors with the knowledge and skills to identify potential signs of abuse, neglect, or exploitation.

Children and young people may be reluctant to disclose their experiences, making it crucial for tutors to be able to recognise subtle changes in behavior or emotional state. By understanding the different forms of abuse, tutors can create a safe and supportive environment where students feel comfortable to share their concerns.
