Safe Environment
What is the goal of the Safe Environment System?
IQS has joined the Safe Environment System promoted by the Society of Jesus, which has implemented it across all its schools, high schools, colleges, and universities.
The system is based on the following pillars:
- Creating welcoming, respectful, and safe environments.
- Promoting good treatment among the people nearest to us.
- Promoting a culture of protection and care for and protecting any child and vulnerable adult.
- Reporting any inappropriate practices or abusive behaviour.
Building Safe Environments
The activities carried out are aimed at:
- Promoting wellbeing for people.
- Promoting a culture of Good Treatment: cordiality, respect, good manners, doing things right, etc.
- Ensuring respect for and the rights of every person.
- Assisting and collaborating in personal growth.
We want everyone to feel safe in all the spaces where we do our work. We seek to generate a culture of good treatment and care.
