Being a child friendly and conscientious organization, Modernage recognizes its responsibility for child protection. The staff as well as the systems of the whole organization are committed to the welfare of Modernites. We believe that it is the right of all children to be protected from all forms of abuse, neglect, exploitation and violence and all the teachers, administrators and support staff at Modernage are duty bound to take all measures that serve the best interest of children. Safe and secure environment maximizes the achievement levels of children enabling them to reach their full potential.
This policy applies to all the teachers, administrators, other staff members, volunteers and extended service providers working at Modernage. Being in close contact with the children, the teachers and school staff are in a position to recognize the outward signs of abuse, changes in behaviour or failure to develop. The school will therefore:
- Establish and maintain an environment where children feel secure, are encouraged to talk, and are listened to.
- Ensure that the students know there are adults in the school whom they can approach if they are worried.
- Provide opportunities for children to develop the skills they need to recognise and stay safe from abuse.
