Safeguarding Policy

Purpose

Ace Educate is committed to providing a safe and secure learning environment for all students, particularly those under 18. This policy outlines how we protect students during online lessons and ensure professional conduct.

1. Supervision & Online Safety

  • Lessons are delivered via approved platforms (e.g., Zoom, Google Meet).
  • Parents/guardians are encouraged to be present in the household during online sessions for students under 18.
  • Tutors must follow professional conduct standards and are not permitted to communicate with students outside approved channels.

2. Recording & Monitoring

  • Lessons may be recorded for quality assurance and safeguarding purposes.
  • Recordings are stored securely and accessed only by Ace Educate staff if needed.

3. Communication & Boundaries

  • Tutors will communicate with students only via Ace Educate-approved channels (email, platform chat, or messaging approved by the parent).
  • Tutors are expected to maintain a professional tone and respect boundaries at all times.

4. Reporting Concerns

  • Any safeguarding concerns must be reported immediately to Ace Educate management.
  • Parents can contact Ace Educate at any time if they have concerns about lessons, tutors, or online safety.

5. Child Protection Checks

  • Tutors are trained in safeguarding best practices and online safety protocols.

By using Ace Educate services, parents/guardians acknowledge they have read and understood this Safeguarding & Online Lesson Policy.
