I take your child’s well-being extremely seriously

As someone who works in the UK state school system (currently employed by South Craven School), I am regularly and randomly background checked by the Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS). This to check that I:
- Have no convictions, cautions, reprimands or warnings
- Am not on the list held under Section 142 of the Education Act 2002
- Am not on the ISA Children’s Barred List
- Am not on the ISA Vulnerable Adults’ Barred List
- No other relevant information is held about me by the Chief of Police Officers
When your child is in my home for a music lesson:
- I have a duty of care to ensure their safety
- My door is permanently unlocked, allowing parents and carers access at any time
- Parents or carers may choose to stay in the room, if they and the child so wish
- My room is clearly visable from outside (my garden, the bowling club and beyond)
- I accompany very young children off my property to be certain that they get into parents’ cars etc.
