At Cairo American College, every student’s safety, dignity, and wellbeing matter. We work to provide a learning environment free from bullying, neglect, and abuse, where students are treated with respect, compassion, and care. Guided by international school standards and the principles of the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child, child protection is a shared responsibility across our community, on campus, during school trips, and at school events.
Prevention, education, and support
-
Helping students stay safe: Age appropriate lessons help students understand personal safety, their needs and rights, and how to report concerns.
-
Preparing adults: Faculty, staff, and trustees receive annual child protection training. CAC also uses screening practices and requires adults who work with students to follow the school’s Code of Conduct.
-
Responding to concerns: Students, families, employees, and community members should promptly report suspected abuse or neglect to the relevant division counselor. Reports are handled confidentially and referred to CAC’s Child Protection Officer for follow up.
CAC provides parents with information and resources to help them understand the school’s program.
