World Tutor's Day: Supporting Safer Tutoring
World Tutor's Day, 2 July 2026, is marked by Disclosure Scotland, with information around how the PVG scheme supports safer tutoring in Scotland.
World Tutor Day celebrates the incredible work that tutors do. Whether working in schools, community settings, or one-to-one in someone's home, tutors make a real difference to the lives of those they teach.
When tutors work with children or vulnerable adults, it's essential that the right safeguarding checks are in place, and that's where Disclosure Scotland comes in.
The Protecting Vulnerable Groups (PVG) scheme is Scotland's way of helping organisations and personal employers make safer recruitment decisions. A PVG check provides detailed information about whether a person is suitable to work with vulnerable groups, including children and protected adults.
For tutors working with these groups, a PVG check isn't just best practice, it's a legal requirement.
Whether you're a tutor, a tutoring agency, or a parent looking to hire private support for your child, knowing that the right checks are in place provides vital peace of mind.
Disclosure Scotland ensures that tutors across Scotland can get to work quickly, safely, and with confidence. To learn more about the PVG scheme and how it applies to tutors, visit Disclosure Scotland's website.
