CHILD PROTECTION MANUAL

CHILD PROTECTION MANUAL

Dear JIS Community Members:

In keeping with our Mission, Core Values, and best practices in governance policies in international schools, the JIS Board of Directors has adopted a Child Protection Policy. This policy will help guide our school toward safer, more effective, and clearer practices to safeguard the health and welfare of our students.

This important set of guidelines will help us work more uniformly and systematically to assure the appropriate protection of our students. As a school, we are committed to screening and training staff appropriately. A copy of our Child Protection Manual can be found on our website.

As we integrate guidelines like these into the community, it is important to note that JIS’s Child Protection Policy is also based in international law and in the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child, of which Saudi Arabia is a signatory.

I believe that as a community committed to seeing our students flourish, we all need to work in partnership and to abide by the policies and procedures engaged by the school and the school’s Board of Directors. Our policy and this manual represent a significant collective understanding that all JIS students should be treated with respect and dignity at all times.

I thank you for your support of our efforts and invite you to contact your school counselor or principal regarding any specific questions you may have in this regard.

Sincerely,

Tarek Al Harazy

Owner/Director
