Why is a DBS Check important?
A DBS check certificate (Police Clearance) is an official document that indicates that a person does not have any convictions to their name and is therefore authorised to work with minors.
Proving that you have a clean criminal record is a vital step for us to ensure a safe learning environment for our learners. It is the final vetting stage of becoming a tutor with Teach Me 2.
All tutors need to have an Enhanced DBS Check Certificate in order to work with minors (under 18) as per our Terms and Conditions. Having this Police Clearance helps give clients peace of mind and helps build trust. It can also greatly increase your chances of being selected for jobs.
Note: Once your tutoring profile has been made live, your DBS check Certificate will be available to download for your personal use under the tab “tutor clearance”.
