This means we will always uphold the highest of safeguarding standards to ensure the safety of your children, the same way we ensure the safety of the students at our schools.
No Compromise When It Comes To Safeguarding
Magisters adhere to industry-leading safeguarding procedures, demonstrating the extent to which we prioritise safeguarding children and young people. This truly is at the heart of what we do and ensuring your peace of mind is paramount to Magisters Tuition.
Tutor Registration & Vetting
We undertake a strict safeguarding and vetting procedure to ensure that every member of staff we work with has undergone the most meticulous background and safety checks possible. Not only do we carry out these checks, but we also go above and beyond in our selection process of which staff to work with. For example: two average references are not sufficient, our expectation is a minimum of two Good or Outstanding references before a Tutor can work with our your children.

Platform Safety and Safeguarding Online
Our safety measures do not stop at initial registration of a tutor. We recognise that teaching online is somewhat different and brings with it different benefits and risks. As we move further into an age where technology is at the forefront of learning, Magisters Tuition have worked tirelessly to create a bespoke online tuition platform that provides not only tools and resources for excellent lessons, but an environment where safeguarding is prioritised and valued at the utmost importance.
To combat any fears you may have surrounding online learning, see below a list of measures we have put in place to ensure our interactive learning environment is of the highest standards in the industry:
1. When setting up your son or daughters account, you can decide how much or how little information is provided about them. This means we don't need their full names or any other details outside of their academic needs. We can even tutor your child completely anonymously should you wish.
2. You will be given logins to the platform, enabling you to visit lessons in real time to review lesson quality and engagement, ensuring we are delivering on our promises and you are receiving a value for money service.
3. All lessons are recorded and should there ever be an instance whereby you would like to review footage, we can access the lesson and send you the classroom footage. The only time this footage can be accessed, is if there is a safeguarding concern that requires investigation. This is stored securely (AES-256 encryption algorithm) with only senior management enabled to access this upon request from a parent.
4. Your platform logins will enable you to view any communication between a tutor and your child at any point in time. This includes in class chat functions and also platform inbox facilities. You can oversee anything, as can we to ensure the safety of everyone.
5. All tutor backgrounds are thoroughly checked including their teaching qualifications and academic achievements. We also interview all of tutors in person. This means anything you see on a tutors profile has been validated by a member of our tuition team.
