Safeguarding

The physical and emotional well-being of every member of our community is our utmost priority. When individuals are within a safe and supportive environment, they are able to thrive. To ensure this, EEP’s central safeguarding team has implemented several measures, such as

Stringent safeguarding policies: Formulated by EEP’s central safeguarding team, these regulations are overseen by dedicated health, safety, and environment (HSE) committees at our school. This comprehensive approach guarantees the social-emotional well-being of our employees and teams, providing them with a safe and supportive environment.
Safeguarding training: We organize regular safeguarding training programs and workshops for educators, parents, and blue-collar employees. This ensures that every member of our school community is fully aware of and understands our safeguarding regulations.
Risk assessments: Regular risk assessments and continuous enhancements to our facilities and campuses further reinforce our dedication to providing a safe and nurturing learning environment. EEP’s central health, safety, and environment (HSE) department mandates that all student events and trips undergo a rigorous safety assessment to align with EEP’s safeguarding guidelines before being authorized.
EEP’s safeguarding platform: EEP has created this platform to allow for the regular and up-to-date logging of safeguarding incidents, ensuring prompt and suitable action to maintain students’ safety and well-being.
In-school pastoral departments: Our proficient counselors are ready to assist students in any issue they might be facing in school to support their psychological and emotional health.
Designated Safeguarding Leads (DSLs): Our DSLs are members of the school senior leadership team who take responsibility for safeguarding and child protection, responsible for maintaining the community’s safety and reporting to EEP’s central team on any issues.
Safer Recruitment Policy: This entails a set of guidelines put forth by EEP’s central HR unit designed to ensure that the individuals hired are suitable and appropriate for their roles, particularly when working with vulnerable groups such as children. This is done through detailed background checks, thorough screening procedures, and special training for recruiters to ensure the hired individuals comply with EEP’s safe recruitment policies.
