Quality Schools International promotes the importance of applying the QSI Success Orientations as part of its Child Safety and Protection policy and procedures throughout the QSI communities at large. Abuse and neglect of minors are not only violations of children’s basic human rights, but also constitute impediments to learning and development, and adversely affect children’s physical, emotional, and social well-being. It is imperative that children are provided with a safe and secure environment in which to develop, thrive, and be successful, regardless of ethnic origins, religious beliefs, or cultural heritage. As such, it is expected that all QSI schools develop a comprehensive child safety and protection plan.

Safeguarding and Child Protection is a priority for every CEESA School.  

• CEESA commits to supporting school environments that safeguard children through both prevention and intervention.  
• CEESA works in cooperation with international agencies to ensure standards associated with best practices are regularly reviewed, revised, and applied in all operations, activities, and events.

All CEESA schools will:  

• Actively uphold the CEESA Safeguarding and Child Protection Statement.  
• Implement school-based Safeguarding and Child Protection Policies and Procedures that include regular onsite training.  
• Employ safe recruitment practices consistent with Safeguarding and Child Protection Policies.
