Safeguarding

Safeguarding is the term used to describe the measures that schools put in place to promote and protect the health, wellbeing and human rights of every individual under the school’s care. 

Safeguarding is everyone’s responsibility at Maarif Education and all school staff have a duty of care to actively promote the health, wellbeing and human rights of children, young people and adults who are either enrolled at the school, work at the school, or have any involvement with the school’s operations.
