Everything you need to know about the JCIS Safeguarding – Exclusive community

About

This is a dedicated group for Designated Safeguarding Leads/Child Protection Officers working at JCIS School in Japan. Safeguarding and child protection is essential for the well-being of students and staff. A safe environment, both at school and at home, is integral to developing student learning. This group aims to work collaboratively to share knowledge, ideas, and insights to promote deeper understanding of safeguarding and child protection best practices in the context of Japan. There will be four online sessions that will culminate in an in-person session in March 2026. The online sessions will focus on selected need-based topics that will be decided by group consensus. Please join us in working together to improve the well-being of students and staff in Japan.
