Child Protection Training & Quiz
Hi Everyone,
As mentioned in the Morning Briefing, we are introducing a new asynchronous format for this year’s Child Protection & Safeguarding Basics Training. This training is an annual requirement for our accreditation and ensures that all staff are informed and equipped to uphold our child safeguarding responsibilities. The new format provides greater flexibility and personalization to support your learning.
Below are the resources you’ll need to review key information about child protection & safeguarding for this year:
- Child Protection & Safeguarding Basics Slide Deck – This gives a quick overview of essential child protection and safeguarding information, including data from China and CPOMS reporting for the 2024–2025 school year.
- NIS Child Safeguarding Handbook – Updated in May 2025, this handbook includes expanded definitions, updated flowcharts (including CPOMS processes), and revised roles and responsibilities.
- NIS CPOMS Childsafeguarding Cheatsheet – A quick reference guide for tagging incidents in CPOMS.
After reviewing the materials, please complete the Child Protection and Safeguarding – Basics Training Quiz. To meet the requirements, you must achieve a passing grade of 100%. The quiz can be retaken as many times as needed to reach this score. Please ensure that the quiz is completed by August 31, 2025.
If you have any questions or need further clarification, please feel free to reach out to Scott, Zhang Bo, or Sandra.
Thank you for your commitment to ensuring a safe and supportive environment for our students.
