CHILD SAFETY STATEMENT

Harrow Hong Kong is fundamentally committed to ensuring that all of our children are safe, and that their welfare is our top priority.

The School ensures that rigorous Child Protection and safeguarding checks are in place for all teachers, teaching assistants, administrative staff and external contractors who are likely to come into contact with our children. Additionally, anyone employed to work with children, and all volunteers at the School, are required to sign a detailed Child Protection Code of Conduct.

Our Child Protection and Safeguarding Policy can also be found here.

Any member of our community who has Child Protection or Safeguarding concerns, should immediately contact Mr. Tom Hicks, Principal Deputy Head (Pastoral and Wellbeing), at thicks@harrowschool.hk.
