Why Scholar Hub ID?

Safeguarding and child protection in tutoring is a legal grey area — in the UK it isn't a legal obligation for tutors to hold a DBS certificate.

Because of this gap, and the crucial need for tutors to be background checked, Scholar Hub has partnered with Shufti Pro to provide a global, AI-powered criminal background check for tutors and others who work with children.

For a one-off fee you complete a verification process — including facial recognition and a criminal background check — and get a clean bill of health you can show to clients, parents and students.

Many tutors who teach UK students live abroad and can't access the DBS system. Scholar Hub's ID check bridges that gap and gives parents peace of mind.
