Child Protection Policy
We take the safety and security of our students, parents, and faculty seriously. Child protection is our collective responsibility. If a community member has concerns, there are ways to share them. Talk to a teacher, the counselor, or the director, or use the anonymous form submission below.
We believe students are entitled to learn in a safe, caring, and supportive community and should be treated with respect and dignity. To this end, we strive to foster an environment that models responsible personal and social behavior free from fear of abuse or neglect that enables the student in our care to experience the fulfillment that comes from actively participating in a learning community.
Child abuse and neglect are violations of a child’s human rights and are obstacles to the child’s education, as well as to their physical, social, and emotional development. Children and youth have legal and moral rights. Child protection standards defined by DISK encompass all cultures, including Japanese and international law. When given reasonable cause to believe such rights have been violated DISK will employ all available resources to restore those rights.
DISK endorses the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child, to which our host country, Japan, is a signatory. We refer to the Japanese act of child abuse and the guidelines from the Japanese government.
