Safeguarding & Child Protection

Our Commitment

The safety and wellbeing of every student is Elevra Tutoring's highest priority. We are committed to creating a safe, supportive learning environment where children and young people can thrive.

This commitment applies to all tutoring sessions, whether in-person or online, and to all students regardless of age, ability, gender, ethnicity, or background.

This policy is informed by the Children Act 1989 and 2004, Working Together to Safeguard Children (2018), and guidance from the NSPCC.
