Safeguarding & Child Protection Policy
Purpose & Scope
Lightning Learning Project is committed to ensuring the safety, well-being, and protection of all children and young people receiving tuition services. This policy applies to all tutors, staff members, and subcontractors.
Key Safeguarding Principles
-
The welfare of the child is paramount in all circumstances.
-
All children, regardless of age, disability, gender reassignment, race, religion, sex, or sexual orientation, have an equal right to protection from abuse.
-
All suspicions, allegations, or disclosures of abuse will be taken seriously and responded to swiftly and appropriately.
Vetting & Recruitment
-
All tutors must undergo an Enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) check before commencing any tutoring sessions.
-
References and identity checks are verified prior to placement.
-
DBS checks are reviewed regularly to maintain compliance.
Reporting & Disclosure Procedures
If a student discloses abuse, or if a tutor observes signs of potential harm or neglect:
-
Listen & Support: Listen calmly without asking leading questions. Do not promise absolute confidentiality, but reassure the child that they are doing the right thing.
-
Record: Make detailed written notes immediately after the disclosure, including dates, times, facts, and exact phrasings where possible.
-
Report: Contact the Designated Safeguarding Lead (DSL) immediately at [DSL Contact Email/Phone]. If a child is in immediate danger, contact emergency services (999) without delay.
