Safeguarding and PREVENT

Safeguarding our students, staff and visitors is an important issue to us.

Safeguarding means:

Promotion of your health and development
Ensuring your safety and care
Ensuring you are offered the best life chances
Protection from abuse and neglect
Prevention of bullying and harassment.

The term ‘safeguarding’ embraces both child and vulnerable adult protection and preventative approaches to keep our students, staff and visitors safe. Safeguarding encompasses students’ health and safety, welfare and well-being. Guide Education is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children, young people and vulnerable adults and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. We have developed a Safeguarding Policy and Procedure that aims to meet this commitment.

Our policy covers:

Abuse and neglect
Prevention of discrimination
Anti-bullying and harassment
Addressing attendance issues
Supporting health care plans for students with specific medical needs
Safety and security.

If you, as a student at Guide Tuition have any concern about your well-being, safety or rights, then you should:

Talk to your tutor
Talk to a welfare officer.
Contact one of our designated safeguarding officers – see below.

If you are a parent/carer, or a member of the public, and are concerned about the welfare, safety or rights of a student at the College, then you should contact one of the designated safeguarding officers.

Another aspect of safeguarding is the Prevent Duty, which requires the Further Education sector to have “due regard to the need to prevent people from being drawn into terrorism”, supporting terrorism or being drawn into non-violent extremism.

There is a duty to ensure that those identified with vulnerabilities are given appropriate advice and support. The Government has defined extremism as “vocal or active opposition to fundamental British Values”, which include:

Individual liberty
Rule of law
Democracy
Mutual respect and tolerance of different faiths and beliefs.

This includes not discriminating against those with protected characteristics (Equality Act 2010), namely:

Age
Disability
Gender reassignment
Marriage and civil partnership
Pregnancy and maternity
Race
Religion and belief
Sex
Sexual orientation.

Parent Feedback

Iona

We decided to give Guide Tuition a trial run as my daughter was bullied at school and I had removed her as the school were not dealing with the issue. Leon and Warren taught her English and maths and helped her to achieve 2B grades which we were over the moon with as she had not attended school since year 8.

Zara

Leon was an absolutely fantastic asset to my learning. By the end of our first lesson, he had identified exactly what areas of the course I needed to work on and how to help. He boosted my confidence and gave me all the necessary advice required to maximise my chances in the exam.

Hershida Shah

We decided to give Guide Tuition a trial run and found to our delight Leon was perfect for tutoring my son for his GCSE English. His approach is excellent. He is calm and professional. I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone who is looking for a tutor for their child.

Zeeshan

Leon was very upfront about what Guide Tuition would be able to help my son acheive. He steered us away from science and focused on English and maths, as my son was already doing well in triple science. I felt this was very honest and allowed Hussam to focus and imporve his English and maths, ending up with an A and a B.

Surabi

I have selected Leon as an English tutor for my 11 yr old daughter recently. She is reallly enjoying the subject specially in Writing. Leon is having a very good knowledge, experience and confident to teach. Definitely my daughter’s language is improving.

Mariam

Leon is a great and skillful tutor and has helped my son to enjoy English, I would more than recommend him for anybody looking for an English tutor.

Luke

Leon has been great with Luke. Really helped him to focus on the task. Very knowledgeable of the the exam boards and what’s expected for both examinations and coursework. Luke has responded well to his approach.

Shona

We are really happy with Leon’s help. He is a skilled tutor with a great attitude, and he clearly personalises how he runs his sessions to fit the needs of his pupil. My son definitely feels he is making progress already, and finds the sessions he’s had so far both enjoyable and stimulating.

Ummaya

Guide Tuition helped my son get a double C even though he was predicted Es. I wish they had done more subjects as English and Maths was all he passed. But now he can go on to college. Very relieved.

Ernest

Leon is a committed, patient, and an excellent tutor who has met out expectations for tutoring our son, he is also very reliable and punctual. I can recommend Leon for anyone who is looking for tutoring for their child.

Estelle

My son has learnt so much in such a short space of time at Guide tuition. He may not come out with exceptional grades at the end of it, but he understands a lot more than he did prior to Guide tuition and that’s good enough for me. Thank you for your help and support. I appreciate it. I know my son has enjoyed going and not many teens will admit to that!! Which is a credit to Tom and Shaila. Thank you for your help and support.

Rosemary

I credit Guide Tuition with the excellent mentoring that gave my son the confidence and study skills to turn his academic prospects around. He really looked forward to going as he knew he will come out of the lessons understanding high level questions which are not always covered in depth at school. He has become self-motivated and is determined to do A level Maths as it is now his favourite subject.
