Health & Safety
ISCS prides itself on its exceptional standards of safeguarding, health, and safety, prioritising the creation of a secure learning environment for all students. Collaborating closely with health and safety experts, BEAM's Creative Science schools maintain a firm commitment to student safety, ensuring that our campus adheres to the highest standards set by Bahrain's local authorities.
In our committed pursuit of the wellbeing of our school community, our dedicated academic teams have implemented both in-person and distance learning options, meticulously designed to foster a safe and joyful learning environment. This approach allows us to cater to the unique needs of each student while upholding our stringent safety measures. We believe that by combining advanced safety protocols with engaging educational experiences, we create an environment where every student can thrive, learn, and succeed.
Child Protection and Safeguarding
At the International School of Creative Science in Bahrain, we hold a strong commitment to the safeguarding and protection of children in all aspects of their education. Our measures align with the rigorous standards set forth by UN articles and international law, in addition to adhering to the local authority’s guidance. Furthermore, our safeguarding policy draws on the latest guidance provided by the Department for Education in the United Kingdom, closely following the principles outlined in the Keeping Children Safe in Education framework.
Our Safeguarding and Child Protection policy serves as a clear declaration of our dedication to both the prevention and intervention of any issues that may compromise the safety and wellbeing of our students. We view the implementation of these measures as paramount, ensuring that every child entrusted to our care can learn and thrive in an environment that prioritises their security and protection above all else.
Bahrain law requires all school staff to pass on any information that gives rise to a concern about a child’s welfare, including risk from neglect, physical, emotional or sexual abuse. As a result, the ISCS Designated Safeguarding Leads (DSLs) are required to carry out their responsibilities in accordance with the law and act in the best interests of all students.
All our staff are meticulously selected with a primary focus on the safety of our children. Every staff member is required to undergo a police background check. If recruited from the UK, they are also requested to submit an up-to-date International Child Protection Certificate (ICPC) or Enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) record. Those involved in the recruitment process at ISCS have completed Safer Recruitment training, incorporating specific questions related to child protection during the interview. Furthermore, we ensure that mandatory safeguarding training is provided to all staff, including support staff, with translations available for comprehensive understanding.
