DSB International School is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of its students on and off-campus. DSB expects all individuals and groups affiliated with the school community, including staff, admin, security and support staff, and external providers, to act with integrity and to take responsibility for keeping students safe.
DSB strives to be a school in which every adult is
Aware of the dangers of child abuse
Committed to preventing harm to young people
Able to respond and report any concerns regarding student safety and wellbeing
Our policies reflect that commitment. To this end, we strive to ensure the safety and well-being of every child. We aim to provide a caring, positive, safe and stimulating environment that promotes the social, physical and moral development of that individual child and strive to make sure that every student feels secure and well cared for.
Every member of staff has a collective recognition of the importance of providing an environment that helps children feel safe and respected and promotes a culture that encourages children to talk openly and have the confidence they will be listened to.
Our curriculum is designed to create awareness in students of safeguarding issues and how to deal with them. Issues are covered in the PSHE (Personal Social and Health Education) programme, our assembly programme and during tutor times and more generally throughout the curriculum.
Training of all staff in identifying, reporting procedures and dealing with such issues is regular and thorough.
The DSB Safeguarding and Safer Recruitment policies are available on request.
