Safeguarding is everyone’s responsibility. Every adult in our school community has a part to play in protecting children and promoting their wellbeing.
We aim to provide a safe, caring environment where children feel secure, are listened to and know that they can talk to a trusted adult about any worry. Our safeguarding procedures follow the laws of the State of Qatar and the guidance of the Ministry of Education and Higher Education.
Safer recruitment
All staff are appointed through careful recruitment, including identity, qualification and reference checks, and the background checks required in Qatar.
Training
Staff receive safeguarding training so that they recognise the signs of concern and know exactly how to respond and report.
Wellbeing
Pastoral care, counselling and online-safety education help children stay safe, build resilience and ask for help when they need it.
