Your duty of care
Every music teacher, whether self-employed or working within a school or organisation, has a duty of care toward their students.
This means taking reasonable steps to ensure their safety and wellbeing during lessons and any associated activities.
You meet this duty of care when you:
- Plan lessons and environments with safety in mind.
- Maintain clear professional boundaries.
- Recognise and respond appropriately to any concerns.
- Follow your safeguarding policy and code of conduct at all times.
Even if you work independently, you are still bound by safeguarding expectations. Parents and students place trust in you – and that trust must be protected through safe, professional behaviour.
