In this episode of Safeguarding in Focus, a podcast presented by CPOMS, Colin Bell, CEO of the Council of British International Schools (COBIS), joins host Sam Eustace to discuss the unique safeguarding challenges facing international schools. Their conversation explores how schools operating across borders must navigate different cultures, legal frameworks, staff mobility and global events, while still maintaining strong, consistent safeguarding standards. Colin emphasises that effective international safeguarding depends on strong networks, rigorous recruitment and accreditation, professional curiosity and a culture where staff and students know how to raise concerns, and access support.
1. International schools must adapt safeguarding practice to different legal and cultural contexts while still going beyond basic compliance.
2. Strong recruitment checks, accreditation standards and professional networks help reduce risk across highly mobile international school communities.
3. Safeguarding works best when schools build a culture of openness, curiosity and shared responsibility so that no staff member or student feels isolated when concerns arise.
