Child-Safety Policy

Parent or guardian involvement

A parent or legal guardian must initiate and remain involved in lesson enquiries and arrangements for a learner under 18. Meeting links, schedule changes and other important communications should include or be visible to the parent or guardian.

Online lessons

• Online lessons take place through Google Meet or Zoom after confirmation.
• The learner should join from a suitable shared or supervised space.
• Meeting links should not be forwarded to anyone not involved in the lesson.
• A parent or guardian should be reasonably available during the session.

In-person lessons

The parent or guardian is responsible for choosing a safe, appropriate lesson location and should remain present or readily available, especially for younger learners. Any concern about the setting should be raised before the lesson begins.

Professional boundaries

• Communication must remain respectful and related to learning or scheduling.
• Learners should not be asked for unnecessary personal or sensitive information.
• Tutors and learners should not move lesson communication to private social-media accounts.
• Bullying, discrimination, harassment, intimidation or inappropriate conduct is not accepted.
