Child protection policy

Draft pending review by the board and legal counsel.

The safety and dignity of every child come first. Every adult taking part in our schools commits to:

• Never be alone with a student in a closed space; activities happen in view of other adults.
• Communicate with students and families only through official school channels.
• Never post students’ photos, names or locations on personal social media.
• Never use physical or humiliating punishment under any circumstances.
• Report any suspicion of abuse or mistreatment to the school leadership immediately.

Volunteers

Every volunteer provides references and a criminal background certificate, and signs this policy before arrival.
