DBS Check Service We are happy to assist our individual members and a limited number of tutors working through our Corporate members to get and maintain their DBS clearances.
(Fee for DBS processing is additional to the Membership rate)
Due to the very high volume of requests from our Corporate members to process DBS applications for their tutor’s, as a not for profit organisation, we have had to reconsider the boundaries of this benefit and have amended our policy as follows:
With effect from 1st October 2021 -for Corporate members we will process ID documents for 20 of their tutors, per annum from their renewal date, at no charge. (Please note, the DBS Check fees are still payable on Checks Direct’s platform). Additional applications will be charged at £5.00 each.
DBS applications for Corporate tutors who are TTA members in their own right, will continue to be processed free of charge.

Specialist individual tutor insurance for The Tutors’ Association members
The Tutors’ Association (TTA) are strong advocates of Professional Tutors and Corporates ensuring they have insurance cover in place to protect themselves in the event that something goes wrong. Insurance can provide cover for situations where accidental damage to client or third-party property occurs, for example, and legal expenses can help to pursue a debt from a client that refuses to pay. Both TTA and Morton Michel believe having appropriate insurance in place is a part of being a tutoring professional.
Morton Michel provides insurance solutions for tutors that are tailored to their needs. TTA are proud to be working with Morton Michel who provide insurance policies that can protect tutors and allow them to focus on delivering effective tuition and educational support.
