<h2>Reporting Harassment &amp; Bullying</h2>
<p>Any person who believes he or she has been the victim of any form of harassment by a student, teacher, administrator or other school personnel, or any person with knowledge or belief of conduct which may constitute harassment toward a pupil, teacher, administrator or other school personnel must report the alleged acts immediately to the principal or the head of school.</p>
<p>Anyone who believes they have been subjected to harassment by a student, teacher, administrator, or other school personnel—or who has knowledge of conduct that may constitute harassment—must report the incident immediately to the Child Protection Team in person or by using the Child Protection Form available on the portal.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2>Investigation Process</h2>
<ol>
<li>A witness or a victim makes the complaint verbally or in writing.</li>
<li>The administrator (the principal will act as the head of school if the head of school is accused) receives the complaint.</li>
<li>The administrator determines who will investigate, depending upon the nature of the complaints but will likely choose a panel composed of male and female staff members with a chairperson. The administrator determines if the situation is severe enough to follow the procedures outlined in the child protection policy.</li>
<li>The investigator/s will carry out the investigation and submit their findings in writing to the head of school. The findings will include the investigator/s opinion on the validity of the complaint and a determination of the intent of the complainant if the accusation was proven to be without merit.</li>
<li>If the accusations are found to be true in part or full, the administrator will, in consultation with CRICS board of directors, the Thai government liaison, and the school’s lawyers, determine and execute the appropriate consequences. A record of the decision and consequences will be placed in the permanent record of the employee or student.</li>
<li>In the event that the accusations are deemed to be groundless, the administrator will, in consultation with CRICS board of directors, the Thai government liaison, and the school’s lawyers, determine if action against the complainant is appropriate.</li>
<li>A witness or a victim makes the complaint using the Child Protection Form found on the portal.</li>
<li>The Child Protection Team receives the complaint.</li>
<li>The Child Protection Officer determines who will investigate, depending upon the nature of the complaints and the age range of the child. The Child Protection Team will monitor for any potential conflicts of interest. In situations involving their own child, relative, or any other conflict, the member will immediately recuse themselves from the case.&nbsp;</li>
<li>The investigator/s will carry out the investigation and submit their findings in writing to the Child Protection Officer who will report to the head of school. The findings will include the investigator/s opinion on the validity of the complaint and a determination of the intent of the complainant if the accusation was proven to be without merit.</li>
<li>If the accusations are found to be true in part or full, the administrator will determine and execute the appropriate consequences. Depending on the severity of the situation, the administrator may need to consult with ELT, Governing Board, the Thai director, and/or the school’s lawyers. A record of the decision and consequences will be placed in the permanent record of the employee or student.</li>
