    I was asked to explain: a teachers duty of care to its learners.
    I'm not sure if I explained it correctly. I would love any comments on this.

    I talked about how teachers most take care to ensure injury does not happen to their students and to protect the students from harm.
    Teachers are responsible for the safety and welfare of their students.
    Is this correct?
    I'm just concerned as the question used the word learner in it.

    Then it's duty of care in your teaching of the learners, planning, assessment , inclusion of all learners etc.

    Yes. I think as they mentioned learners rather than 'young people' they mean along the lines Crazyteacher mentioned.

    Also, the difficult stuff like making sure the learner has a realistic idea of where they are and how much work they need to do. This would also cover when to stop flogging a dead horse, if that's the case for some learners.
