Besides your roles and responsibilities with the learners you need to be aware of the importance of safe guarding the students.
The boundaries with any learners are as simple as not having any involvement outside your teaching role and avoid any communication in any social media websites. As a teacher your aims is to help the learner however, If a learner requires any specific help you will refer them to the appropriate or most effective place/person as cited by Wilson (2008:23) are we the most effective person for the learner to consult? Therefore we need to refer them to get the specialist help the need.

Professional boundaries

During your working day you will come into contact with a number of professionals whose role it is to support you in your professional role, and your learners in relation to their educational and personal needs. You must be professional at all times, being aware of your boundaries not only with the students but also with your colleagues, superiors and outside organisations such as social services, the police, community venues Ofsted inspectors, internal verifiers, mentors to name a few.
