SAFETY and WELL-BEING

International House considers safety as one of the most important aspects of the program and we put a huge amount of effort into ensuring students stay safe, while having a great time. We have multiple staff Members (called "Dons") who sleep on campus and are there 24/7 so students can go to them with any problems they may have. Below are the safety rules that we follow:

1. The campus has its own Security Police that patrols the premises 24/7, as well as the IH Security Patrol.

2. Only students and staff living in the building have access to the building where the students live, so it is very safe. Each student has their own key for the building and their room.

3. We have a Health Care Officer on campus available 24/7. They will be the first point of contact for students should they need any medical attention. The Health Care Officer will also accompany the student to the clinic or hospital, if needed. In this case, they will stay with the student and help fill in related documentation.

4. All students who do not live with us (The Day Program students) will be taken care of by our staff, and no one will leave at the end of the day without being signed out by an adult relative, family member or family friend. A staff member will stay with them until they have been picked up. They can leave campus by themselves only after we receive a written parental permission.

5. Our staff is with the students at all times during the program and the ratio of our staff members to our students is great.

6. All students have personalized ID cards with the name and address of the campus where they are staying. The ID also includes all emergency numbers of the program, so someone is always available for the students if needed.

7. The campus has an office where students can always go everyday from 8:00 - 22:00 for any questions or issues they may have.

8. None of our students can leave the campus unless we have a prior written consent from the parent.
