Safeguarding
At Camp Asia, we strive to ensure the safety and wellbeing of all members of our community. We foster a culture of care, a strong sense of connection and belonging, which empowers everyone to have a voice. We aim to create a safe environment for all students. As a community we will listen without judgement, act with integrity, and pride ourselves on trust and transparency. Safeguarding is the responsibility of everyone.
OUR COMMITMENT TO CHILDREN AND PARENTS
We are committed to our duty to safeguard and promote the welfare and wellbeing of children and young people in our care and those who work in the school. Through our work we aim to ensure a safe learning and working environment for students, staff, parents and visitors alike. We take our responsibilities in relation to safeguarding and child protection very seriously. It is our aim to ensure that each child feels that they have a trusted adult that they can communicate their concerns or worries to.
There are occasions that our concern about a child may mean that we need to consult other agencies. We always aim to work in partnership with parents to ensure that the appropriate support and interventions are in place to support the child. We work hard to establish positive relationships with professionals outside of Camp Asia who can offer specialist support.
We encourage all children and parents to share concerns so that we can support with appropriate interventions.
At Camp Asia, we are dedicated and committed to ensuring that every child makes the most of their time with us. We aim to achieve this by creating an inclusive and safe environment while helping children thrive, develop new interests, learn new skills, and make new friends outside the classroom.
OUR COMMITMENT TO STAFF
Staff receive training and updates on their professional responsibilities in relation to safeguarding and child protection. All Core Team staff and relevant teachers / coaches hold a basic first aid qualification. Our camp is supported by our onsite medical centres and qualified nurses. A clear reporting system for concerns is in place and understood by all.
All activities are risk assessed, and health and safety are always our priority.
OUR COMMITMENT TO VISITORS
We welcome parents, families and visitors to our school. However, access to the school site is closely monitored, with a 24-hour security presence. There are restricted timings to ensure the safety of children as well as allowing them to focus on their activities. Our colour coded lanyard system ensure that we can easily identify adults on site. All adults who work with our students, including visiting professionals, are appropriately checked and / or supervised. This also supports our emergency evacuation processes.
OUR COMMITMENT TO RECRUITMENT
Our recruitment procedures follow ‘Safer Recruitment’ guidelines, including rigorous background screening checks. This is supported by detailed CVs, reference checks and a robust interview process. Our recruitment ensures that we have the best team of professionals working at Camp Asia.
