Safeguarding

At KIS, the safety and well-being of our students are our top priorities. We are committed to creating a secure and nurturing environment where every student can thrive without concern for their personal safety. Our safeguarding policy ensures that all students are protected from harm and have the right to an education in a safe setting.

Our Commitment

We adhere to strict safeguarding standards designed to promote the welfare of all our students. These standards follow local laws and international best practices, ensuring a protective environment for our diverse student body.
 

Policies and Procedures

Our safeguarding policies outline the procedures for identifying, reporting, and managing any concerns about a student’s wellbeing. We ensure that all staff are trained in child protection policies and in recognizing signs of abuse or neglect. This training is regularly updated to reflect the latest developments in safeguarding practices.
 

Safe Recruitment

We employ a rigorous recruitment process that includes extensive background checks and vetting of all staff, volunteers, and anyone else who may come into contact with our students.
 

Reporting Concerns

Our school maintains an open and secure system for reporting concerns. Students are encouraged to speak up about any issue they feel uncomfortable with, and they can be assured that their concerns will be treated with confidentiality. Parents, staff, and students can all raise concerns with our dedicated safeguarding team, who are trained to handle such reports with the utmost sensitivity and professionalism.
