經 DBS 查核的線上家教

什麼是 Enhanced DBS 查核

Disclosure and Barring Service 簽發的 DBS 證明會列出個人的犯罪紀錄。Enhanced 證明也可能包括地方警察認為與兒童工作相關的資訊。依照 DBS 公布的規則，部分較早的輕微警告和定罪紀錄會被篩除，因此，證明上沒有紀錄代表依照這些規則必須列出的資訊，在簽發當天沒有出現在紀錄中。

家教自行申請查核，並向我們出示證明。以下是我們在家教上架前會進行的查核，包括 DBS 查核。

家教老師上架前的審核

We are selective about who teaches here: we look for tutors at top universities, we interview everybody ourselves, and nobody is listed without a criminal record check on file.

1. Where they are studying, or studied. We look for tutors at top universities: Oxford, Cambridge and the Russell Group in the UK, and their equivalents elsewhere. It is what we look for rather than a rule we apply blindly, so a reviewer can say yes to somebody outstanding from a university not on our list, and can say no to somebody who is at one of them.
2. A university email address we verify ourselves. We send a code to it and they have to enter it, which is the quickest honest answer to "are you actually there", checked by software rather than taken on trust. It is a convenience rather than a requirement: somebody who has graduated, or whose university does not issue one, makes their case in writing instead and a person reads it.
3. Their degree, their school grades and a CV. Real grades in the subjects they want to teach, in writing, reviewed by a person. Not "strong A-levels": which ones, what they got, and when.
4. An interview with us, in this platform. On the same video system lessons run on, so we have met them and seen them teach something rather than talk about teaching.
5. Proof they are who they say they are. A photo of a passport or driving licence and a photo of their face, through Stripe. Stripe tells us the outcome and those photographs never reach us. A right-to-work check is separate, and a copy of the document from that check is kept on record, as the law requires.
6. An Enhanced DBS check, before the profile exists. Not before the first lesson: before anybody can see them at all. Outside the UK, their own country’s equivalent, read and decided on by a person. The software refuses to publish a profile without one.

Where somebody studied is a fact about them, not a claim of endorsement; Cookie Tutoring is not affiliated with, endorsed by or connected to any university.

我們如何處理證明文件

我們會查看並記錄證書編號、日期、查核種類和決定，然後刪除我們的副本，因為 DBS 自己的處理規則規定不得保留副本。只有在記錄顯示已驗證後，個人檔案才會上線；系統會檢查這一點，不會依賴某個人記得去做。

DBS 查核無法告訴你的事

證書只反映簽發當天的狀況。英國有一項 Update Service，可讓查核在不同證書之間持續有效；我們沒有註冊使用這項服務，因此改為要求每位導師每 12 個月重新接受查核，無論他們在英國還是其他地方。查核已逾期的導師會暫時退出平台，直到我們查看新的查核結果為止。

紀錄清白也不能說明某人是否曾犯事但從未被抓到。因此，課堂和訊息都會留在平台上，讓一切有紀錄；負責孩子課堂的家長也可以查看孩子與導師的訊息。

英國境外的家教

DBS 是英國的查核，因此在其他地方居住的導師會提供所在國家用於兒童工作查核的證明（若有此類查核），或在沒有此類查核時提供該國的國家警察證明。每份證明都由專人逐一審閱並個別判斷；我們絕不會把這些證明稱為 DBS，因為它們並不是 DBS。

自 1 October 2026 起，無論國籍為何，在英國授課的導師也必須向我們證明自己有權在英國工作。
