Child Protection and Safeguarding

AIS endorses the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child, of which the host country, the Republic of Korea, is a signatory. 

This policy has been developed, reviewed and further amended (October 2023), using the International Centre for Missing and Exploited Children (iCMEC) materials and international best practice derived from the U.K. government including the Keeping Children Safe in Education 2023. 

​

All children have the right to develop their potential and be safe and happy. We are committed to providing a caring environment for all, where effective learning and teaching can flourish and the children have every opportunity to succeed. 

​

At AIS, we are placed in a position of responsibility. Our role is to educate children socially, emotionally, and academically. To be successful in our role we must build positive relationships with the children in our care. As teachers, we are morally responsible to act if a child is of concern. Everyone employed at our school has a responsibility in relation to child protection. 

​

Our approach to child protection derives from the Mission of our school. It describes an internationally minded learning environment where we care for ourselves, each other, and the world around us and a place where we develop into confident, reflective global citizens. 

​

The health, safety, and welfare of all our children are of paramount importance to all the adults who work in our school. Our children have the right to protection from harm, harassment, or abuse, regardless of their age, gender, ability, race, or social background. They have a right to always be safe, both in school and in their lives outside school.
