Vulnerable Persons Policy

Home Tutors Callington are privileged to work within their local communities. Activities undertaken by Home Tutors Callington often involve them working closely with adults and vulnerable persons including children and young persons.

The core principles of equal opportunities and equality apply to all persons with whom we come into contact regardless of ethnicity, nationality, age, gender, sexuality, marital status, disability, culture, religious beliefs or except where it is strictly relevant, their possession of a criminal record.

We define Abuse of a Vulnerable Person as:  -
Inappropriate Care:  Racially motivated abuse:  Neglect and/or Acts of Omission:  Financial or Material Abuse:  Emotional Abuse:  Sexual Abuse:  Physical abuse

Our Code of Conduct
  • Respect al individuals, whatever their age, developmental stage, ability, sex, sexual orientation or ethnicity.
  • Place the safety and well being of vulnerable persons first.
  • Form appropriate relationships with vulnerable persons. These should be based on mutual trust and respect.
  • Be aware of the relative powerlessness of vulnerable persons, especially disabled persons.
  • Be committed to actively preventing the exploitation and abuse of vulnerable persons.
  • Always work in an open environment - we try to avoid private locations (e.g. a room where the door is cliosed).
  • Maintain a safe and appropriate distance with vulnerable persons.
  • Involve carers, parents and/or guardians wherever possible.
  • Avoid sexual or suggestive comments or language.
  • Always seek the parents or carer and vulnerable person's consent if our clients need personal care of any type.
  • Make sure that any allegations or suspicions are recorded and acted upon.


    • Vetting
    All of our tutors undergo checks by the Criminal Records Bureau.
