Protección de la infancia en el FDR
Our Commitment to Student Well-being and Safety
Colegio Franklin Delano Roosevelt is a student-centered school. As such, we are committed to the standards of a safe and secure teaching and learning environment. In alignment with our school’s core values and mission statement, Colegio Roosevelt has developed a handbook to outline the guidelines, practices, and expectations specific to protecting the safety and well-being of our students. The Board of Trustees has adopted a Child Protection Policy to guide our staff and families in matters related to the health, safety, and care of children in attendance at our school.
Child Protection Statement & Policy Foundations
Our Child Protection Policy is based on international law and the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child, of which Peru is a signatory. Two key articles guide our approach:
Article 19 – Protection from abuse and neglect
The State shall protect the child from all forms of maltreatment by parents or others responsible for the care of the child and establish appropriate social programs for the prevention of abuse and the treatment of victims.
Article 34 – Sexual exploitation
The State shall protect children from sexual exploitation and abuse, including prostitution and involvement in pornography.
Nuestro compromiso
To ensure we uphold these standards, the school:
-
Provides training for all new faculty and staff each year.
-
Continues ongoing preparedness and professional development through the International Center for Missing and Exploited Children (ICMEC).
-
Offers age-appropriate lessons for all grade levels to help students understand personal safety, needs, and rights.
-
Provides parents with materials and information sessions to support understanding of our programs and policy.
-
Ensures faculty and staff receive annual training to recognize signs of abuse and neglect and understand their responsibilities as mandatory reporters.
Comité de Protección de la Infancia
The Child Protection Committee—composed of administrators, counselors, associate principals from each division, and a Human Resources representative—leads the implementation of our Child Protection Policy. The team promotes student well-being, protects children’s rights, and reduces risks of neglect and abuse through training and reporting.
In partnership with Human Resources, the committee provides annual training for new staff and ongoing professional development. The committee meets three times per semester, with the Superintendent and Principals joining the final meeting to review progress.
Family Responsibilities & Partnership
By enrolling your child at Colegio Roosevelt, families agree to work in partnership with the school and abide by policies adopted by the School Board.
We value this partnership and the shared responsibility to ensure students learn and grow in a safe, supportive environment.
Families are also asked to review and complete the Community Code of Conduct as well as the Parent Partnership for Success forms, which outline our shared expectations and commitments.
Families are also asked to complete the Temporary Guardianship Form whenever primary or secondary guardians listed in PowerSchool are not available or accessible (e.g., out of city/country, hospitalization, emergencies). This ensures that, if needed, a designated adult can attend to the needs of the child.
