Speaker: Susie March (Strand B)

​

Join us to receive expert guidance and knowledge on a wide range of topics, including policy development, managing allegations, addressing harmful sexual behaviour in schools, affluent neglect, and the vital role of the curriculum in safeguarding students.

​

You’ll connect with fellow CIS members with similar roles and responsibilities as you share challenges, collaborate, and explore strategies.

​

The workshop is packed with vital and well-established workshop content plus newly developed and timely material.

You can expect to:

​​

• Learn from exceptional speakers with deep knowledge, expertise, and direct experience

• Leave with a shared understanding of child protection in international schools—challenges, expectations, and opportunities

• Feel more aware of your school’s responsibilities regarding child protection—what you need to work on to make your school a safer place

• Be well-equipped with a clear idea of the actions to take in the coming weeks, months, and years to develop and strengthen child protection and safeguarding practices in your school

• Develop a broad understanding of topics relating to child protection, including,  

  • safer recruitment 

  • how sex offenders operate 

  • child-on-child abuse 

  • communicating in a crisis 

  • developing school-wide child protection policies 

  • identifying and receiving disclosures of abuse 

  • cross-cultural and contextual considerations relating to the abuse

 

Choose from two strands:

 

Both strands align with CIS International Accreditation standards, particularly Domain E.

• Strand A: Managing child abuse in an international school—Recruitment, policies, and response

• Strand B: Preventing and identifying child abuse—Curriculum, culture, and receiving disclosures
