Child protection and safeguarding
The National American School fully acknowledges its obligations for ensuring the safety and well-being of children and staff. Our commitment to the welfare and safety of our students and staff is central to the values of our institution and permeates all aspects of our operations. The NAS policy defines a 'child' as any individual below 18 years of age and outlines our procedures for safeguarding and protecting him/her in accordance with the Lebanese laws and guidelines. Same for the NAS teaching and non teaching staff, this policy applies to the entire school community.
