Policies
Safeguarding
All the FCT teachers are Safeguarding trained. We fully understand the importance of keeping each child safe.
FCT understand their obligation to ensure children's safety and the process to follow should a disclosure be made to them.
All the FCT teachers have a current DBS certificate and will carry photograph identification cards.
Teaching and Learning
FCT teachers strongly believe in the importance of providing an individualised learning programme. Learning that is accurately matched to the child's interests, strengths. Learning that promotes confidence and the ability to transfer skills to all areas of the curriculum.
Parent/Child/Tutor Agreement
At FCT we value the support and involvement of parents/carers.
FCT will provide a Teaching and Learning agreement to be signed and agreed by all parties. This agreement details the expectations for the delivery of the teaching and the expectations for parents/carers and the child.
Following the initial
meeting to establish strengths, interests and areas of challenge the FCT teachers will provide a Coaching Record and a Target, monitoring and evaluation record sheet.

How we collect pupil information
We collect pupil information via the Tutor / Child/Parent Partnership Agreement form during the first session in order to ascertain what personalised provision is needed in order to meet the educational need(s) of the child. Pupil data is essential for the FCT’s operational use. Whilst the majority of pupil information you provide to us is mandatory, some of it requested on a voluntary basis. In order to comply with the data protection legislation, we will inform you at the point of collection, whether you are required to provide certain pupil information to us or if you have a choice in this.

FCT will not share pupil information with any third parties.
Why we regularly share pupil information
We do not share information about our pupils with anyone unless the law allows us to do so. This would be in the case of child protection, should this be the case, data is securely transferred to outside agencies - such as social services via a secure website. For more information about services for young people, please visit our local authority website.
