Safeguarding
BIS is Committed to Safety & Belonging
At the Bavarian International School (BIS), we are deeply committed to fostering a safe, caring, and inclusive environment where every child can flourish. We believe that safeguarding is not just a policy, it is a fundamental part of our school’s identity and our commitments to Safety and Belonging.
All children have an equal right to be protected from harm. Guided by the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child, German law, and international best practices from the International Taskforce on Child Protection, we uphold a strict duty of care for every student enrolled in our school and affected by our operations.
Safeguarding is actively embedded in all aspects of school life, including:
- Curriculum & Facilities: Designed to support, protect, and empower students daily.
- Professional Development: Ensuring our staff are trained to recognize and respond to student needs.
- Safer Recruitment & Parent Education: Rigorously vetting our team and partnering with families to maintain a secure ecosystem.
Keeping our community safe is a collective responsibility. Our leadership team, counselors, teachers, and parents work hand-in-hand to ensure that student safety, and holistic wellbeing always come first.
Detailed information regarding our procedures can be found in the Child Protection Policy and Safeguarding Handbook.
