Commitment to Child Protection
Every child’s safety is our highest priority. As a CIS-accredited international school in Jeddah, we follow formal safeguarding policies that meet international standards. Our Board of Governors reviews these policies every year.
Our Designated Safeguarding Lead (DSL) handles all child protection matters. They are the first point of contact for any concern. All staff — teaching and non-teaching — complete mandatory safeguarding training before working with students. Our recruitment process includes enhanced background checks in line with CIS requirements.
To raise a safeguarding concern, contact the Head of School for your child’s section. All concerns are handled with care and in confidence.
Our safeguarding commitment includes:
- A formal Child Protection Policy with clear guidelines for all staff
- Child protection principles built into all recruitment practices
- Mandatory safeguarding training for every member of staff
- A formal Child Protection Committee with defined responsibilities
- A clear process for reporting all child protection concerns
Every member of staff has a personal responsibility to uphold our child protection culture. This means:
- Following the school’s Child Protection Policy
- Understanding that child protection principles are built into how we recruit
- Completing mandatory child protection training
- Maintaining professional standards that keep children safe
- Supporting the work of the Child Protection Committee
- Using the reporting process to refer any concerns to the DSL
Every child has the right to conditions that support their full development — intellectually, spiritually, physically, emotionally, and morally. This belief sits at the core of who we are. Our values of humane consciousness, agency, empowerment, and compassion are how we live it.
The school, working together with local health departments, has an important role in slowing the spread of diseases to help ensure students and staff have a safe and healthy environment.
