The TKS Child Protection and Safeguarding Handbook 2021-2022 is now available. Contained within this academic year’s Handbook is TKS’s Child Protection Policy adopted by the TKS Board of Education to guide our staff and families in supporting the health, safety and care of children at TKS.

This Child Protection Policy is based on Saudi Arabia’s Child Protection Law (2014)  and on the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child, which has been ratified by Saudi Arabia.

By enrolling a child at TKS, you agree to work in partnership with us and abide by the policies adopted by the TKS Board. As a school we greatly value this partnership in providing for the safety and care of your children. 

As part of our duty to create a safe environment where all can learn and grow TKS will:

1. Provide age appropriate Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) lessons for all grade levels to help students understand personal safety, needs and rights.

2. Support community parenting initiatives and offer parents the opportunity to seek clarity on our programs and policies.

3. Annually train faculty and staff to recognize and report issues of abuse and neglect.

By working closely together, we can all ensure that all children are treated with respect and dignity and so grow and learn, free from fear, in a safe and supportive environment. 

I thank you for your support and invite you to contact the School Psychologist, myself, or your child’s divisional principal, with any specific questions you may have in this regard.

Sincerely,

Dr. Michelle Remington

Director

The KAUST School
