Confidentiality - information about your family
Any information you give to me, either verbally or in writing, regarding your child or your family will be treated as confidential. I know of my responsibilities under the General Data Protection Regulations (GDPR) and the Data Protection Act of 2018. Any information about your child is stored electronically and password protected. Any paperwork will not have full names and is only kept while it is functional. Once the tutoring period ends, the child’s work will be given to them or securely shredded, ensuring the utmost confidentiality and data protection.
Sharing of information
It's important to note that information about your child will not be shared with anyone else except those named on initial agreements (namely parents/carers). In the case of tutoring within the school, only necessary verbal feedback will be given to the teacher. I want to reassure you that I will only disclose confidential information to the relevant authority if there appears to be a safeguarding issue that potentially affects a child’s welfare or safety, ensuring the strictest limitations on information sharing.
Parent/carer's responsibility regarding confidentiality
As part of our working relationship, you may come across information about me and my family. It is crucial that this information is kept confidential to respect my family’s privacy. I trust in your understanding and commitment to not discuss any personal information you see, hear, or are informed about with anyone else. For a comprehensive understanding of your data rights, please visit the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) website.
