Yes. All tutors need an enhanced background check before tutoring children or vulnerable adults on Tutorful. Without one, you can only tutor adults, in a limited selection of subjects.
What we require
To be awarded Background Checked status and tutor with us, provide proof of either:
- A clean enhanced background check dated within the last three years, or
- Registration with the DBS Update Service.
Once approved, you’ll get a Background Checked badge on your profile.
What we accept
- Enhanced DBS certificates
- PVG Scheme Record
- Enhanced Access NI checks
Full detail on what we accept is in our Terms and Conditions at tutorful.co.uk/terms.
What to do next
To upload your check, see How do I upload my DBS?. If you don’t hold a DBS and would like help getting one, email our Tutor Experts at support@tutorful.co.uk.
