Safety and security is a priority in the Activities and Athletics department.
All school policies are followed in this respect including the school Child Protection policy, extracts of which are referenced below.
Any conduct that may cause harm or alarm to students is not tolerated. Any allegation of harmful conduct will be dealt with, in partnership with the relevant authorities if appropriate, in line with the ISP Child Protection Policy. The Policy is based on the work of the International Task Force on Child Protection, local Czech laws relating to the safety of children, and the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child. The Policy details the nature of different types of potential alarm and abuse that children and young people may face. The Policy also spells out practical and procedural information that members of the ISP community can refer to if they have concerns about the safety, wellbeing or security of a student or students.
Reporting
All suspicion or complaints of abuse must ultimately be reported to the designated Safeguarding Lead, who is obliged to inform the Director accordingly.
Staff that are informed of a safeguarding issue have duties of confidentiality and the responsibility to communicate these matters only with the designated Safeguarding Person and will avoid discussing the situation with colleagues or others.
The procedure as stated in the ISP Child Protection Policy will be enacted upon notification of a report.
