MUIDS believes:

1. A child cannot learn unless they are happy.
2. A child cannot be happy unless they are safe.

The reason a Safeguarding policy was created:

1. Mahidol University International Demonstration School (MUIDS) recognizes its responsibilities for child protection.
2. The policy applies to all staff working or visiting the school.
3. The student’s welfare is paramount and must override and underpin everything we do.
4. All students are entitled to protection irrespective of culture, age, disability, gender, racial heritage, religious belief, sexual orientation or identity.
5. Our aim should be to minimize damage to the student and promote recovery.
6. Any person who has concerns about the welfare of a child must report the concern to a Safeguarding Officer or the Safeguarding Lead. Reporting link here
7. The school has designated Safeguarding Officers (SGO) with responsibility for Child Protection. Click here for the link to the SGO contact details.
