Safeguarding and Child Protection Policy Statement

The American International School in Cyprus (AISC) believes that everyone has a right to safety, love, and learning. We are committed to safeguarding and promoting the well-being of the children in our care. Child abuse and neglect are concerns throughout the world and are violations of a child's human rights and are obstacles to the child's education as well as to their physical, emotional, and spiritual development.

It is for this reason that AISC has endorsed this Safeguarding and Child Protection Policy, as well as our Human Rights & Responsibilities Policy, that define the standards by which all AISC students should be treated with respect and dignity. AISC also endorses the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child, of which our host country, Cyprus, is a signatory.

Scope and Aims of the AISC Safeguarding and Child Protection Policy

This policy applies to all members of the AISC Community – staff, students, parents, contract workers, and visitors to the school.

There are two key aims of the AISC Safeguarding and Child Protection Policy:

  1. Take all reasonable measures to minimize the risk of harm to the children in our care
  2. Take all appropriate actions to address concerns regarding the welfare of the children in our care
