Safeguarding
At The British School of Lomé, we believe that our children are at the core of everything we do. Our family is growing and, as we have grown, we have taken many steps to make sure your child is safe, secure and happy at our school. We know that working together as a partnership is essential and this document outlines the various procedures we have implemented to make sure your child remains safe and happy.

Our Principles, Beliefs and Philosophy
We recognise that our school is important in protecting our students; they are in the best position to identify concerns early and provide or identify help for students as well as helping to prevent these concerns from escalating. Consequently, we accept and adhere to these basic principles:
-
A child’s welfare is paramount and each student has the right to be protected from harm and exploitation and to have their welfare safeguarded irrespective of race, religion, ability, gender or culture.
-
All students need to be safe and feel safe in school.
-
Every student is entitled to a rich and broad curriculum that helps to equip them to keep themselves safe.
-
Every adult in school must have a demonstrable commitment to protecting the students with/for whom we work.
-
We work in partnership with parents/carers and/or other professionals to ensure the protection of students.
-
Our guiding principle throughout is ‘the best interests of the students’.
-
All students have the same equal rights to protection, but we recognise that we need to do more for some students because of their special educational needs, disability, gender, religion or sexual orientation.
