Proof, not just a promise.
DBS status, insurance, your policies, and exactly what happens to a child's data — shared on one link that stays current, rather than a PDF a parent has to trust is still accurate.
Seven days free. Card up front, cancel in two taps.
What a parent can actually check.
One link. Your policies, kept current.
Safeguarding, cancellation, privacy — generated once and shared as a link that updates itself, not a PDF that quietly goes stale in an inbox. A parent can check it independently, whenever they want, without asking you for it again.
A DBS check that's verified, not just typed in.
Status is checked by a human against the real certificate — never stored as an image, never held anywhere after that check happens. Keep the Update Service running and that status is rechecked automatically. Qualifications are shown separately, so a parent isn't left guessing what "verified" actually covers.
Verified means the status has been checked. A parent should still satisfy themselves independently, the same as with any tutor.
Every decision a parent makes, kept — including changing their mind.
A consent granted, or taken back, is logged with a timestamp the parent can see for themselves. So is exactly which version of a policy they agreed to — not just "the current one", which stops meaning anything the moment you update it.
Ask for your data, or ask for it gone — both are real actions.
A subject access request produces a real export — the ledger, the record of decisions, the consent history — as a genuine starting point, not a formality. A deletion request is honoured too: gone 90 days after you ask, bar the handful of financial and report entries the law itself requires we keep, and those are stripped of anything identifying first.
Everything trust.
Before you share your link.
Does Slate run a tutor's DBS check for them?
No — Slate verifies the status a tutor has provided, checked by a human against the real certificate, and never stores the certificate image. That's not the same as running the check from scratch, and a parent should still satisfy themselves independently, the same as with any tutor they engage.
Is there a Slate "verified tutor" badge?
Not yet. We'd rather a mark like that meant something before we launch one, so today there's no separate certification — what a parent sees is the underlying credential itself, not a badge standing in for it.
Is my data definitely kept in the UK or EU?
That's our standard and our intention, and every provider we've checked so far confirms it — but we're not calling it audited and certified until every provider in the chain has been confirmed one by one. See our privacy policy for exactly where that stands today.
What happens if I ask for a former student's data to be deleted?
It's gone within 90 days of the request — bar a small set of financial and report records the law requires we keep, and those are stripped of anything that identifies your child first.
Give a parent one link, not a folder of paperwork.
Seven days free is enough to build your compliance pack once and see what a parent actually sees when you share it.
