The International School Dhaka (ISD) takes responsibility for taking all our students very seriously. We strive to provide a safe and supportive learning environment to maximize their learning and well-being. Both the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child, of which  Bangladesh is a signatory, and the Bangladesh Act No 24, provide the background for establishing a set of transparent ISD practices, procedures, and guidelines for child protection and safeguarding. All forms of child abuse violate children’s human rights and impede their intellectual, physical, social, and emotional development.
United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child-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.”
The Bangladesh Children's Act, 2013-Act No. 24 of 2013 “The Act changes the legal definition of a child from being a person under the age of 14 to one under the age of 18. It criminalizes any kind of cruelty inflicted on children while they are working in both the formal and informal sectors. In addition, the Act will prescribe punishments for using or exploiting children in begging, in brothels, and in carrying drugs, arms, or other illegal commodities”.
