Keeping Our Community Safe
Safeguarding is about protecting every member of our community, especially our students, through education, policies and procedures that promote their safety and wellbeing.
As a school within EiM, Dulwich International High School Programme Suzhou benefits from the extensive experience and expertise of the wider Dulwich College International network in safeguarding. This includes comprehensive background checks and criminal record screening for all staff, regular safeguarding training, educating students about appropriate behaviour, and ensuring they know where to seek support when they need it.
Our message to students is simple: Speak Up. Stay Safe.
If a student feels unsafe, vulnerable, bullied or uncomfortable, speaking to a trusted adult on campus is always the right thing to do. All DHSZ staff receive appropriate safeguarding training and know how to respond to concerns. When a student is referred to a member of our Safeguarding Team, their concerns are handled with empathy, sensitivity and confidentiality. Information is shared only with those who need to know in order to provide appropriate support.
Throughout the school, safeguarding posters are displayed in every classroom and learning space, providing details of the key members of staff students can contact if they need help. Students can also find emergency contact information and key school guidance on the back of their student ID cards.
