A tutor’s spouse/partner can accompany the teacher/tutor on placement. When accepting the placement, the family and the couple need to discuss what roles the family would like the partner to accept. The spouse/partner may
– Assist in the schoolroom
– Do light duties around the house if desired (mow a lawn, sweep a floor etc)
– Accompany Dad out in the paddock as an offsider or spectator
The family will need to ensure that they have up-to-date Public Liability insurance to cover the partner in this role. The family must provide a copy of a current Public Liability Certificate of Insurance when registering a placement.
