BIS Hanoi launches a Student Safeguarding Team to empower students in child protection

The training covered topics such as the difference between safeguarding and child protection, the importance of confidentiality, how to react and manage oneself during a disclosure, asking useful follow-up open questions, and how to report to an adult in school. Students were also introduced to a new referral form, which they and all students can use to make a disclosure, either for themselves or their peers.

Following the training, students are now more aware of what to look out for in classrooms, corridors, and general conversations that may raise concerns. They will receive further training later in the year and will be awarded certificates as part of their commitment to safeguarding the school community.
