Seclusion with a Private Teacher
Question
Hello, I wanted to ask if there are issues of seclusion in a music lesson for an 11-year-old child with a female teacher and if there are solutions for this. Thank you very much
Answer
Hello
There can definitely be an issue of seclusion.
A woman is prohibited from being secluded with a child from the age of 9 and above.
It is necessary to ensure that the teacher's husband is in the city, or that people enter the house during the lesson.
