OUR FIRST PRIORITY IS TO PROVIDE A SAFE AND HEALTHY ENVIRONMENT
\nFOR STUDENTS AND THE ENTIRE UISG COMMUNITY.<\/h6><\/div>

Prioritizing Your Child’s Safety<\/p><\/div>

<\/div><\/div>
UISG is committed to the prevention of child abuse and to the protection of children in accordance with the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child, of which the People’s Republic of China is a signatory.<\/h6><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
<\/div><\/div>\n\t
\n\t\t
\n\t\t\t

This commitment means that the interests and welfare of children are the school\u2019s primary consideration when any decision is made about suspected cases of abuse or neglect. At UISG, we ensure that all children are afforded a safe and secure environment to learn, grow, and develop. Educators, having the opportunity to observe and interact with children over time, are uniquely positioned to identify children who need help and protection. As such, we have a professional and ethical obligation to identify cases of neglect or abuse and to take steps to ensure that the child and family avail themselves of the services needed to remedy any situation that constitutes abuse or neglect.<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t

Child abuse and neglect are violations of a child\u2019s human rights and are obstacles to the child\u2019s education as well as their physical and emotional development.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t

UISG\u2019s Child Protection policy is aligned with the stated Laws of the People\u2019s Republic of China on the Protection of Minors. This law was first approved by the National People\u2019s Congress (NPC) Standing Committee in 1991, with a further amendment in 2016 to protect children\u2019s and minors\u2019 physical and mental health. It is based on current legislation, and UISG has a professional responsibility to comply with it.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

UISG is a diverse community with many cultural beliefs, values, and practices. To respect the global nature of the community, for our child protection policy, the school has chosen to follow the World Health Organization\u2019s<\/a> (WHO\u2019s) definitions of abuse and neglect.<\/p>\n

The WHO declares that:
\n\u201cChild abuse or maltreatment constitutes all forms of physical and\/or emotional ill-treatment, sexual abuse, neglect, or negligent treatment, resulting in actual or potential harm to the child\u2019s health, survival, development, or dignity in the context of a relationship of responsibility, trust, or power.\u201d<\/p>\n

Child Abuse \u2013 Child abuse is a serious and complex problem that may occur in the lives of children and young people. It often occurs in environments that are isolated and stressful and affects those who are most vulnerable.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>
