Escuela Tomás Alva Edison promotes a safe environment where student wellbeing and protection are a top priority. The entire educational community - staff, families, and service providers - shares the responsibility to prevent, identify and act on any risk, abuse, or neglect, following clear protocols and ongoing training to ensure the overall development and safety of every student.
Students learn with adults the school carefully selects and verifies through background and reference checks before they work with them.
Learners benefit from regular training for staff and the school community that helps adults detect, prevent and respond quickly to any risk or abuse.
Students share worries through clear, confidential channels, supported by trained safeguarding staff who act whenever a concern arises.
Children feel safe in a calm, respectful environment where they can talk openly, ask questions and raise any concern.
Learners follow clear rules for devices and online behaviour that prevent cyberbullying and misuse of technology.
Students at risk or affected by harm receive prompt care, including psychological or external specialist support when they need it.
Children appear in photos or videos only when families give consent and activities take place in supervised, safe settings.
