Enhanced DBS for tutors explained
Some tutors may state that they hold an enhanced DBS certificate. TuitionList may show this as self-declared or, where evidence has been reviewed, as DBS seen by TuitionList.
How TuitionList uses profile labels
An enhanced DBS label is not a safety guarantee and does not replace parent checks, references, safeguarding questions, and suitability decisions.
What families should check
Ask about the certificate date, workforce category, Update Service status where applicable, whether the certificate is relevant to the tutoring arrangement, and what safeguarding arrangements will be in place.
Directory-only reminder
