Student Wellbeing and Safeguarding

At DPS International, the safety, wellbeing and holistic development of every student are at the heart of our school community. We are committed to creating an environment where every child feels safe, heard, valued and supported.

Our approach to child safeguarding and protection is embedded across the school through a robust Child Protection and Safeguarding Policy, a strong Anti-Bullying Policy, and a staff culture grounded in awareness, vigilance and responsibility. Our staff are trained in POCSO awareness, while CPD-certified Gatekeeper training strengthens our capacity to recognise concerns, respond appropriately and support students who may be experiencing emotional or personal challenges.

We support student wellbeing through confidential social-emotional and behavioural counselling, providing students with a safe, trusted space to express themselves, seek guidance, and develop strategies to navigate challenges. Our system-integrated Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) programme further supports students in developing self-awareness, emotional regulation, empathy, healthy relationships and resilience.

We also recognise that student wellbeing is dynamic and continually shaped by the changing world around us. Through responsive wellness initiatives, we strive to understand emerging needs and create meaningful opportunities that support students' emotional, social and psychological wellbeing.

At DPSI, a multidisciplinary team of qualified professionals, including specialists in counselling, psychology and learning support, works collaboratively to understand and respond to students’ social, emotional, behavioural and learning needs. The team provides personalised support and appropriate interventions, with specialised expertise to support and empower neurodiverse learners.
