Well-Being: The Foundation for Student
Success

DBS Denla British School recognises that all students are unique and have different personal and emotional needs that require support and care, to ensure they achieve their full potential. The development and well-being of each student is very important for everyone at DBS. Therefore, we have developed a pastoral cares system that will guide and nurture the individual abilities of each child. Every student is placed in a form group and has a tutor.

Students’ well-being is assured through fostering a happy, safe and purposeful environment, providing each child with the skills and opportunities to develop confidence, self-motivation, independence and a positive self-image.

Safeguarding is a term used in the United Kingdom to promote the welfare of students and protect them from harm. At DBS, we not only focus on the students’ academic achievements but also their physical and mental well-being, which are absolutely vital. The purpose of the DBS Safeguarding Team is to ensure that someone is always there to take care of our students and to listen to any of their concerns or needs. 

DBS fully recognises its responsibilities for child protection in accordance with the Thailand Child Act (2003); Keeping Children Safe in Education (KCSIE Sept 2019) and the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC 1990). The DBS Child Protection Policy is also aligned and informed by the recommendations of the International Task Force on Child Protection (ITFCP), the International Child Protection Association (ICPA) and follows the latest guidance from the International Centre for Missing and Exploited Children (ICMEC), organisations that have set the standards for safeguarding in schools worldwide. DBS recognises that the welfare of the child is paramount and all students, regardless of age, disability, gender reassignment, race, religion or belief, sex, or sexual orientation have a right to equal protection from all types of harm or abuse.

All staff, including external providers, receive safeguarding training and our policies and procedures are regularly reviewed. Every adult within the school has a safeguarding responsibility.
