Sex charge tutor case reveals 'massive' safeguarding hole in safeguarding, charity says.

Man charged with sexual assault has been advertising as a private tutor for children in maths and science.

Another teacher barred from the classroom by a disciplinary panel but is now advertising one-to-one online tutoring sessions.

Charities say the cases highlight a lack of regulation in this area.

Government says it expects tutoring agencies to follow safeguarding guidance.

Department for Education says it is now considering what further action might be appropriate.

One told us: “It should be a legal requirement, just like if you work in a school’s school.”.
