Safeguarding & standards

Ofsted-registered means accountable

When you choose Brainology, you're choosing a homework and school support centre that is fully registered and inspected by Ofsted — the same body that regulates schools and childcare providers across England.

For parents, this matters. It means Brainology is accountable in a way that unregistered teachers and support agencies are not.

What Ofsted registration guarantees

Registration is not automatic. As an Ofsted-registered provider, Brainology is required to ensure:

Safeguarding

All children are safeguarded to the standards set by Ofsted.

Safe premises

Our premises, equipment and facilities meet required safety standards.

Enhanced DBS checks

Every member of staff with unsupervised access to children holds a valid enhanced DBS (Disclosure and Barring Service) check.

First Aid cover

At least one staff member holds a current First Aid qualification at all times.

Trained staff

Staff training meets the Common Core Skills required for anyone working with children.

Secure records

All student records are maintained securely and kept up to date.
