HOME > OUR COMMUNITY > CHILD PROTECTION POLICY CHILD PROTECTION POLICY PRINCIPLE The Board of ISB will ensure that Child Protection is central to all its activities and that of the School. This policy outlined below, is in line with our accreditors best practice, and applicable local laws. *Current procedural arrangements are outlined in the policy document below. Amendments to these arrangements in response to significant developments, leading to changes in operational procedures, at any given time are the responsibility of the Director and the Leadership Team who will respond to such situations without further recourse to the Board. The International School of Bergen fully recognises its responsibilities for child protection. Our students’ welfare and safety are at the heart of our school’s ethos and in everything we do. In this policy, a ‘child’ means all children and young persons below the age of 18 years. In accordance with relevant law and guidance, as set out below in the third section, this policy details our procedures for child protection. It is applicable to the whole school community. Child protection and promoting the welfare of children is everyone’s responsibility, whether they work or volunteer in the school. Everyone has a role to play in child protection. All staff and volunteers will ensure that their approach and actions are child-centred. This means that they’ll consider, at all times, what is in the best interests of the child. Due to day to day contact with students, school staff and volunteers are well placed to observe signs of harm, abuse, neglect, peer on peer sexual violence and sexual harassment, victimisation and/or exploitation. 1.
