As a personal tutor, you may need to share information about a student with other key staff to ensure the student is supported. You should try to check with the student first about what you are passing on. However, if there is a need to act without a student’s prior consent because there is an immediate risk of harm to the student themselves or others, you may have to extend confidentiality and include key individuals. There is more information available on the Safeguarding Policy and Code of Practice webpages.
