At the British Council, the safety and well-being of learners and educators is a top priority. We are committed to helping our Partner Schools across the world foster a secure, inclusive, and respectful educational environment. 

Why safeguarding matters

Safeguarding is at the heart of quality education. It ensures every learner and educator is respected, protected, and free to explore their potential without fear.
