Safeguarding

Our Commitment to Safeguarding

At our school, the safety and well-being of every child is our highest priority. We are committed to providing a safe, supportive, and inclusive environment where all students feel protected, respected, and valued.

Our safeguarding procedures follow best practices outlined in UK safeguarding guidance, such as Keeping Children Safe in Education, adapted for our international school context.

Safeguarding is the responsibility of all staff, volunteers, and members of our school community.

 

What Safeguarding Means

Safeguarding includes:

  • Protecting children from abuse, neglect, exploitation, and harm
  • Promoting children’s physical and emotional well-being
  • Creating a culture where children feel safe to speak up
  • Ensuring staff are trained to recognise and respond to safeguarding concerns

All staff receive regular safeguarding training and understand the procedures for reporting concerns.

Students, parents, and staff are encouraged to report any safeguarding concerns.

If you have a concern about a child’s safety or well-being, please contact:
