Earlier this month, our President, John Nichols, appeared on BBC Breakfast to discuss the crucial topic of safeguarding in the tutoring industry. In the interview, John highlighted the importance of tutors being registered on the DBS Update Service, ensuring that professionals working with children and vulnerable individuals are properly vetted and continuously monitored.
As the tutoring industry has grown and evolved, safeguarding has become more critical than ever. John emphasised how parents, schools, and organisations are increasingly recognising the value of working with regulated tutors who meet strict safeguarding standards. This shift is helping to create a safer and more trusted environment for students across the UK.
At The Tutors’ Association, we are proud to be at the forefront of raising standards in the tutoring industry. Our commitment to safeguarding is exemplified through our Daily DBS Check service, available at no additional cost to all corporate members. This service helps organisations monitor their tutors’ DBS status daily, with real-time updates and instant notifications of any changes.
John’s appearance on BBC Breakfast marked an important milestone in our ongoing efforts to ensure professionalism and student safety remain central to the tutoring industry. You can watch the full interview here.
