Child Safeguarding Policy

All  children  have  a  right  to  be  safe.  The  health,  safety  and  well-being  of  all  our  students  is  of paramount importance and will be respected, protected and fulfilled by all members of the TIS community.  Our  children  have  a  right  to  feel  safe  and  protected,

regardless  of  age,  gender, race, culture, sexual orientation, or disability.

 

TIS  endorses the  UN  Convention  on  the  Rights  of  the  Child,  of  which  Hong  Kong  SAR  is  a signatory.  As  a  school  we  will  provide  and  maintain  an  environment  where  students  feel  safe and ensure that students know that there are adults within the school who they can approach if they are worried or are in difficulty.

 

This  policy  and  procedures  is  written  with  reference  to,  and  in  line  with  the  Education  Bureau Circular No. 5/2018  “Handling Suspected Cases of Child Abuse and Domestic Violence.”
