As a CNG community, we recognize the responsibility to safeguard the welfare of children and adolescents in our care (“Students”). Domestic violence and/or child abuse are violations of a student’s fundamental human rights and are obstacles to a student’s physical, emotional, and mental development. International school communities are particularly vulnerable given that the nature of abuse often requires secrecy, isolation, and limited access to support resources. As a school community, we have a duty to take strong proactive measures to address this reality.
CNG is committed to promoting a safe and secure environment by protecting all students in our care. In order to achieve this goal, we will respond with a sense of urgency whenever a student is a victim or is at risk of becoming a victim of domestic violence and/or child abuse. Educators have the opportunity to observe and interact with students over time and are in a unique position to identify students who may need help and protection.
