As the pandemic recedes in many countries around the world international schools are reporting an increase in safeguarding concerns as the impact of two years of studying at home and a lack of socialisation takes its toll.

With this in mind, we chat with Kate Moskwa, principal of Abdulrahman Kanoo International School (ARKIS) in Bahrain, to hear about how her school has seen this issue play out and the work they are doing to support students and give staff the CPD they need to maintain their skills in this area.

We also talk about the wider issues of safeguarding in the international sector - from the cultural differences between settings to the importance of using the expertise of local staff to discuss sensitive issues with families.
