This list of tutors is collated by the home ed community, by recommendation and self referral.
If their profile states that they have a DBS check, this only means that their DBS certificate was seen at the time that they were added to the register.
Some tutors may be DBS registered but have not shown a certificate. You should check with any tutor directly if you would like to know whether it is still valid.
Please do your own safety checks before allowing anyone to work with your child.
Any tutor you engage is done so entirely at your own risk.
