The "what to do if" basics
- Always teach minors with a parent or guardian on-record (online: visible camera angle preferred; in-person: never alone in a closed room).
- Keep written copies of session notes — date, duration, what was taught, what was assigned.
- Have a one-page safeguarding statement you give parents at intake. Free template in the contract builder.
- Know your country's mandatory-reporting threshold for child-protection concerns.
