Safeguarding children describes the action we take in Cognita Asia schools to promote the welfare of children and protect them from harm. We believe that safeguarding children is everyone¡¯s responsibility and that everyone who comes into contact with children and families has a role to play.
We define safeguarding as:
- Protecting children from maltreatment
- Preventing impairment of children’s health or development
- Ensuring that children grow up in circumstances consistent with the provision of safe and effective care
- Taking action to enable all children to have the best outcomes
Children are best protected when our school community has a clear understanding of the school¡¯s reporting requirements and processes, and how we need to work in partnership to uphold student safety and wellbeing.
