I would need to see that I know what sources are available to me to help my students. I myself need to be accountable to my students and my organisation to ensure I carry out my role as assessor/tutor correctly. There are many to apply to myself: The child act. (1989) and (2004) which emphasises the importance of safeguarding children and young people within an educational setting. If a student/learner discloses neglect or abuse an establishment should have instructions to help the learners. This could be a referral to an organisation internally or externally. Also myself as a teacher should/must adhere to the every child matters (1999) (ECM) agenda created by the government, this is to safeguard each student. It states that every child has the right to have the support they need to be healthy, stay safe, to make positive achievements and receive the best education. The LLUK suggest professional standard for teacher, tutors, and trainers in the lifelong learning sector.
