Safeguarding
Safety is our priority
The Congregation is committed to enabling positive change and to protect and promote the fundamental human rights of girls, women and children. The main objective of this Safeguarding Policy is to ensure that all children and persons in vulnerable situations working with or associated with the province have a safe and protected environment that is free from stigma/discrimination of any kind and from any form of abuse/violence/injury/harm.
Every person who enters into Good Shepherd Convent is committed to adhere to the Code of Conduct and abide by its implications.
Further, a team is set in place to monitor the safety of the stakeholders, do necessary risk assessment for every event, bearing the safety and security of all concerned. Frequent training sessions are organised for all the members of the staff both in English and Tamil to facilitate effective implementation of the policy.
Arlene Mahoharan conducted training for the Sisters and Staff of all the ministries on the Safeguarding Policy, and its standards. The Contact persons conduct regular orientations for students, staff and parents, apart from displaying posters and infographics across the entire campus.
