Safeguarding Policy for the Young Learners
Our Supervision ratios ON TRIPS
Child (8-15 years old)
Supervision ratios for these groups must be one group leader to every 10 students. Measures such as staggering break times, allocating such groups to floors where no adult classes are held and thorough student and group leader inductions will take place to ensure student safety.
Young Adult (16-17 years old)
Young Adult supervision ratio would ideally be 1 staff member for every 15 students but where possible 1 staff member to every 10 students would be best practice.
Specialist Qualifications
Our staff undergo regular training on delivering lessons and leading activities for under 18s. All staff members complete the Safeguarding Level 1 training course and hold an enhanced DBS check. Activity Leaders undergo additional training to equip them with ideas on how to help our students make the most of their time in London.
TESTIMONIALS
Our last 3 weeks have flown by so quickly and today will be this group’s final day at SUL. It has truly been a wonderful experience for our students and teachers. I hope our group’s daily interactions and classroom experiences have been as enjoyable for your team as they were for us.
The students shared that they absolutely loved everything about SUL, the vibes, the support from the team, and the overall learning environment. By the way, I’ve already completed the feedback form, but I wanted to write this note to personally express my gratitude and appreciation for your partnership and for your professional coordination in making our first group program such a success during these three weeks in October 2025.
Pongsak J., Imperial, A leaders in Bilingual Education
Thank you very, very much for having us at Speak Up London School.
All the students and their parents are really happy and satisfied with the classes, the teachers and the whole organisation of your school.
The children really felt taken care of and their parents knew that the kids were safe. I’m sure this wasn’t the last time we visited your place and we’re really looking forward to learning English with you again.
