9. In addition to maintaining a valid DBS check, you must comply at all times with MyTutor’s Safeguarding Policy and applicable safeguarding legislation and guidance.

10 We reserve the right to change these DBS Terms at any time to accurately reflect the latest requirements of the DBS checks (including DBS Charges). It is your responsibility to review these DBS Terms regularly. Any changes to these DBS Terms take effect from the date that such updates to these DBS Terms are published.
