Safeguarding
HOPE International School recognizes its responsibility to protect children extends beyond the school environment. When made aware of or suspecting child abuse or harm occurring outside of school, we are committed to responding appropriately. By collaborating with the Child Safety & Protection Network, HOPE aims to foster environments where children’s well-being and safety are paramount. Together, we work to connect, educate, and protect children from harm.
HOPE International School is committed to providing an environment where all students can learn and grow in safety and security and are actively protected from all types of harm.
The school also recognizes its responsibility to staff, teachers, volunteers, and others in the community to provide a safe working atmosphere where they are equipped to fulfill this responsibility.
HOPE International School commits to educate the HOPE community about child harm in order to promote safeguarding throughout.
HOPE International School will provide procedures and systems for responding to concerns or allegations of child harm in order to create an open and aware environment where concerns for the wellbeing and rights of children can be raised in a respectful, fair and lawful manner.
All HOPE International School staff, volunteers, and external service providers must undergo a screening process to assess their suitability to teach, serve or volunteer at HOPE and to have contact with children. Even if the role does not involve the person working directly with children, HOPE International School recognizes that any role in the school gives individuals access to children and will screen all potential individuals.
HOPE International School is committed to the reporting of, assessment of and response to safeguarding concerns. All concerns received, regardless of their level of seriousness, credibility, or validity, are accepted.
