DBIS Safeguarding Policy Statement

At Discovery Bay International School (DBIS), the safety and wellbeing of our students is our paramount concern. We will give equal priority to keeping all children and young people safe regardless of their age, disability, gender, race, religion or belief, sex, or sexual orientation. We recognise that some children are additionally vulnerable because of the impact of discrimination, previous experiences, their level of dependency, communication needs or other issues. Every child has the right to learn and grow in a secure, nurturing and protective environment, free from all forms of abuse, neglect and exploitation. At the heart of our policy are the best interests of the children, and all matters relating to child protection and safeguarding will be underpinned by listening to the voice of the child and acting in their best interests.

Legal Obligations: DBIS will adhere to the laws in Hong Kong relating to mandatory reporting of suspected child abuse cases (those under the age of 18), effective from 20th January 2026 (Cap. 650 of the law of Hong Kong). If the school suspects that a child is suffering serious harm or is at real risk of suffering serious harm (as detailed in the Ordinance lists of elements that constitute serious harm), this will be reported to the Social Welfare Department (SWD).

Pre-employment: DBIS will take all reasonable steps to ensure that full and complete background checks are carried out for all members of staff who are employed at our school. The school will also adhere to our safer recruitment policy.

Only applications submitted via the DBIS Application for Employment form will be considered.
