Reporting to a UWC School or College
As a current or former UWC student, we urge you to consider your UWC school or college as your first point of contact in the case of any safeguarding concerns. You can find information about whom to contact on each UWC school or college website. The Head of every UWC school or college can also be contacted with any concern.
Reporting to UWC National Committees, Short Course or UWCx initiatives
The UWC Common Standards for Safeguarding aim to protect not only current UWC students as well as applicants to a UWC school or college but also participants or applicants for places at UWC Short Courses and participants in UWCx initiatives. All of these UWC entities have a Designated Safeguarding Lead (DSL) that you can report your safeguarding concern to. You can also report to any other staff or volunteer member of these entities and they will then contact their DSL.
Reporting to UWC International
All safeguarding concerns should firstly be directed to the UWC entity in question through the Head of School/Designated Safeguarding Lead.
Where these efforts have been unsuccessful, any member of the UWC community, including students, applicants, short course participants, alumni, volunteers, and staff members, especially those not directly affiliated with a particular UWC school or college, may approach UWC International with any safeguarding concerns. Every attempt will be made to resolve the matter directly with the UWC entity concerned.
The safeguarding reporting procedure and policies of each school can be found below:
