3. Add a phone call log to TutorBird - ensure you leave a clear description, including the student's name.

After the Run Through, as long as you are comfortable with this process, I will send an email over to allocations letting them know you are ready to take on some students. If you need more support and guidance, then we can book in another training session to make sure you feel confident in using the systems. 

Please see below some key information on safeguarding and our policies.

As a tutor, it is your responsibility to keep up to date with current safeguarding practices. The KCSIE and the Working Together to Safeguard Children Document provide guidance for schools and tutors on safeguarding children. We have included the information on which parts are specifically relevant to your role for you to pay particular attention to, however the whole document has useful information.

Keeping children safe in education - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk) [Summary, Parts 1, 2 and 5]

Working Together to Safeguard Children - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk) [Introduction, Chapters 1 and 3]

If you could please read through and familiarise yourself with the policy documents found here:

SafeguardingPolicy + Guides

Additionally, to let us know anything, you are welcome to call us or email at safeguarding@thenationallearninggroup.co.uk. We also have this reporting form if you would like to ensure all important information is included:

NLG Safeguarding Report Form

We would also highly recommend that you complete the following safeguarding training if you do not already have a valid safeguarding certificate in place, we suggest this is renewed every 2 years:

Please reach out if you have any questions or concerns regarding the safeguarding policy.
