How serious is Kolej Tuanku Ja afar (KTJ) about student safety? Aside from conducting rigorous background checks on incoming staff and incorporating health and safety topics into its curriculum, the international boarding school in Mantin, Negeri Sembilan, appoints a dedicated Safeguard Committee consisting of six staff members to enforce KTJ s Safeguarding Policy. 
Our Safeguarding Policy clearly spells out the expectations from all employees on providing an environment that is safe and healthy for students, shares Suresh Naidu, head of secondary (pastoral) and safeguarding lead at KTJ. It s important to note a written policy is not necessarily a practised policy. Our policy, on the other hand, is written, practised, implemented and regularly reviewed. The process starts even before an adult is employed to work with children here at the school.
