Child Protection and Safeguarding Policy

Child Protection and Safeguarding Policy

Our school ensures that high-quality interpersonal relations of care and support are experienced by all through respect, honesty, forgiveness and reconciliation.

Corporal punishment can have serious negative effects on the growth and development of the child. It causes stress and activates threat response in the child’s brain. Corporal punishment can be psychologically damaging and may induce a sense of low self-worth, sadness, fear, shame, anger, an inability to trust, anxiety, despair, depression or withdrawal.

If a student experiences harassment or witnesses the harassment of another person, they are encouraged to inform.
