✅ Safeguarding Quiz

Answer all questions about safeguarding policies and procedures. You need at least 8 correct answers to pass (80%).

Q1: A student unexpectedly discloses to you that they are being neglected at home. What is the single most important action you must take immediately following the disclosure?

Call the child’s parent/carer to verify the information. Immediately contact the Plus Tutor Designated Safeguarding Lead (DSL) and submit a detailed report. Call the local Children’s Social Care team directly. Promise the child you will keep the disclosure a secret to protect their trust.

Q2: Which of the following contact methods with a student is strictly prohibited under the Plus Tutor Code of Conduct?

Sending session notes to a student via the Plus Tutor platform\'s chat feature. Discussing subject-specific content via private messages on a non-Plus Tutor platform (e.g., WhatsApp, personal email). Sharing a link to an educational video on YouTube during a live lesson. Scheduling a follow-up lesson time with the student during the current session.

Q3: When a student makes a disclosure, what should the tutor avoid doing to ensure the integrity of any subsequent investigation?

Recording what the child said using the child\'s exact words. Asking leading questions or interrogating the child for additional details. Informing the DSL that a disclosure has been made immediately after the lesson. Maintaining a calm and non-judgemental demeanour.

Q4: Which of the following is an indicator of potential online grooming or exploitation that a tutor should look out for during a session?

The student struggling with the set homework tasks. The student referring to a new adult \'friend\' who sends them expensive gifts or money. The student having a busy schedule of extracurricular activities. The student asking complex questions about the subject matter.

Q5: If you observe a student in your live session who appears to be at immediate risk of significant harm (e.g., active violence in the background), what is your first and most critical step?

End the session, fill out the Safeguarding Concern Form, and wait for the DSL\'s response. Call the student\'s parent/carer to ask if they are okay. Call 999 (or local emergency services) immediately, then notify the DSL. Try to intervene verbally through the video call to de-escalate the situation.

Q6: Tutors are required to conduct lessons from an appropriate space. Which element of the tutoring environment is a mandatory requirement under the Code of Conduct?

Conducting all sessions from a brightly lit, professional office. Ensuring the background is neutral, distraction-free, and contains no personal photos or inappropriate material. Having another adult present in the room with the tutor at all times. Using a virtual background filter to obscure the tutor’s actual surroundings.

Q7: What is the primary purpose of the Enhanced DBS Check with Children\'s Barred List check in the Plus Tutor Safer Recruitment process?

To verify the tutor’s academic qualifications and teaching history. To confirm the tutor is financially stable and reliable. To determine the tutor’s suitability to work with children by checking their criminal record and history of unsuitability. Ttrack the tutor\'s location during all tutoring sessions for security purposes.

Q8: If a tutor becomes concerned about a student\'s mental health (e.g., they mention self-harm), and they feel the concern is also a safeguarding issue, who should the tutor consult?

The student’s school teacher to ask for guidance. The Designated Safeguarding Lead (DSL), as mental health concerns can be indicators of abuse or neglect. The parents, as this is a health-related issue, not a safeguarding issue. No one, unless the student explicitly mentions abuse or neglect.

Q9: When completing the Safeguarding Concern Report, which principle must the tutor adhere to when describing the event?

Summarising the event with personal opinions on the student’s background. Writing an objective, detailed account, using only factual observations and the child’s exact words (where applicable). Waiting 48 hours to ensure the concern persists before submitting the report. Only reporting if the concern has been confirmed by the parent or another teacher.

Q10: Under what circumstances can a tutor be suspended (without prejudice) by Plus Tutor, according to the Safeguarding Policy?

If a student gives the tutor a poor review on their profile. If a safeguarding allegation is made against the tutor, pending investigation by the Local Authority Designated Officer (LADO). If the tutor misses one scheduled lesson due to illness. If the tutor fails to share their lesson plans with the student’s parent upon request.
