Safeguarding

Ensuring the healthy development of children at school begins with safeguarding their safety. Wellington College Education (China) - Hangzhou has established a comprehensive Child Safeguarding Programme that is embedded into every aspect of school operations — from each signature in the staff recruitment process, to staff training, and to educating pupils on how to protect themselves. Our staff are trained to identify signs that a child may require support and know how to deliver that support appropriately and sensitively. 

We have a trained team of Designated Safeguarding Leads who serve as the primary contact persons for all safeguarding-related matters, ensuring that our safeguarding practices throughout the College meet international standards. 

Note: Wellington College International Hangzhou is totally committed to safeguarding the welfare of children and young people and expects the same from its employees. All new staff will be subject to enhanced pre-employment clearance, including identity checks, criminal background checks, qualifications checks and employment checks to include an explanation of any gaps in employment.
