A Graduate Tutor is responsible for promoting and safeguarding the welfare of children for whom they are responsible, or with whom they come into contact. A Graduate Tutor will adhere to and ensure compliance with the School’s Child Protection Policy at all times. If in the course of carrying out their duties, a Graduate Tutor becomes aware of any actual or potential risks to the safety or welfare of children in the School, it is their responsibility to report any concerns to the school’s Designated Senior Lead for Child Protection or the Headmaster.
