The Tuition College – E-Safety Guide for Parents & Students

At The Tuition College, your child’s safety online is just as important as their safety in lessons.

We believe students, parents, and tutors all share responsibility for ensuring safe and responsible use of technology.

πŸ‘©β€πŸŽ“ For Students – Top 5 Online Safety Rules

  • Protect your personal information – never share your address, school, phone number, or passwords online.
  • Be kind online – treat others with respect. Never send messages or images that could hurt or embarrass someone.
  • Think before you click – don’t open links, downloads, or messages from people you don’t know.
  • Stay in safe spaces – only use apps, games, and websites your parents/carers approve.
  • Speak up – if something online makes you feel worried, upset, or unsafe, talk to a parent, tutor, or the Safeguarding Lead immediately.

πŸ‘¨β€πŸ‘©β€πŸ‘§ For Parents – How You Can Help

  • Talk regularly with your child about what they do online.
  • Set boundaries – agree on screen time limits and what apps/games are allowed.
  • Use parental controls to block inappropriate content.
  • Encourage openness – let your child know they can come to you if something feels wrong online.
  • Stay updated – keep devices secure with antivirus software and regularly review your child’s privacy settings.
