This policy is shared with all staff who know the correct procedures to take regarding Child Protection Issues.
We strongly encourage a ‘speak up culture’ such that any concerns are raised with the Designated Safeguarding Lead and the Designated Safeguarding Team so that appropriate actions can be taken to ensure that every child is safe.
Our emphasis upon safeguarding at Harrow Chongqing is underpinned by the understanding that safe children make more successful learners.

Our Safeguarding Team
Our Senior Safeguarding Lead is supported by the Headmaster (Aaron Lennon) and Chinese Principal (Judy Kong). Further to this, the priority of all members of our community is the safety and wellbeing of our students.
- We kindly request that parents and visitors:
- Do not take photos or videos of any child without permission from the Head Master
- Avoid touching any child (other than your own) or invade their personal space
- Do not take any contact details from a child
- Only use designated adult-only toilets and do not enter the children’s toilets or changing room areas.
- When visiting the campus, all parents/guardians must wear their parents’ identification badge, making sure it is clearly visible before entering the school building. If this is forgotten parents/guardian will have to sign in at reception like a school visitor.
- As a courtesy, and for security reasons, it is vital that the appropriate staff member/s are informed of an intended visit.
