We believe that every child is created in the image of God and that each child is unique and possesses inherent value. Every child has the right to be treated with respect in a safe environment in order to develop and flourish. We are committed to advocating for students and obligated to report any suspected instances of abuse. This policy applies to all staff members, both teaching and non-teaching, who have direct or indirect contact with children. This includes individuals employed directly by International Christian School (ICS), as well as contracted or invited professionals who offer services to children under the care of ICS. As a member of the Child Safety and Protection Network (CSPN), ICS actively participates in a collaborative international effort to address child protection issues.
