ISS EDUlearn® Safeguarding Bundles
Introducing the New ISS EDUlearn® Safeguarding Bundles
Safeguarding is at the heart of every thriving school community. As international schools continue to evolve in complexity and diversity, the responsibility to create safe, supportive, and responsive environments has never been more important. Recognizing this essential need, ISS is proud to introduce two new Safeguarding Bundles, designed to help educators and school leaders strengthen safeguarding practices and develop sustainable systems of care and accountability across their campuses.
A Deeper Commitment to Safeguarding in Schools
Every student deserves to learn in an environment that prioritizes safety, wellbeing, and trust. Yet safeguarding extends beyond compliance or crisis management—it requires an ongoing, proactive approach rooted in education, empathy, and preparation.
For educators and school leaders, this means understanding how to identify and respond to risks, supporting mental health, managing facilities and security, and building a culture of openness where every voice matters.
The new ISS EDUlearn® Safeguarding Bundles were created to help schools take that next step. They combine expertise from experienced international educators, school leaders, and crisis management specialists into two distinct professional development packages that are flexible, affordable, and deeply practical.
Two Distinct Bundles, One Shared Purpose
The Safeguarding Bundles are divided into two strands that reflect the range of responsibilities within international schools—Teaching & Learning and School Operations & Leadership.
Safeguarding for Educators Bundle
This strand focuses on the daily interactions and classroom practices that shape safe, inclusive learning spaces. Courses in this collection help educators develop awareness, strengthen crisis response readiness, and promote wellbeing for both students and staff.
Featured courses include:
- Safeguarding & Crisis Response in Schools – Sian Jorgensen
- Trauma and Suicide Prevention – Cathy White
- Consent & Safe Spaces in K–12 – Cheryl-Ann Weekes
- Crisis Prevention Essentials – Lauren Jones
- Safeguarding Children: Essential Protocols – Jonah Rosenfield
These courses guide educators in safeguarding classrooms through trauma-informed care, proactive prevention, and practical crisis management. Participants gain both confidence and tools to act decisively and compassionately in complex situations.
Safeguarding for School Operations & Leadership Bundle
Safeguarding is a shared responsibility, and school leadership plays a central role in building structures and systems that protect students, staff, and facilities. This strand is designed for school heads, operations directors, and leadership teams who oversee strategic safety measures and emergency preparedness.
Featured courses include:
- Preparing for the Inevitable Crisis – Kathleen Naglee
- Global School Safety Strategies – Mike Johnson & Jamie Steckart
- Reimagining School Safety & Compliance in an International Context – Mike Johnson
- School Facilities Maintenance, Safety, & Construction – Mike Johnson, Susie Clifford, and Craig Coutts
- Site Security Operations & Risk Management Workshop – Amit Bar-Giora
These modules equip leaders with the frameworks to evaluate risk, design strong safety protocols, and respond effectively to crises while maintaining community trust and continuity.
Practical Professional Development for Educators
Unlike one-time workshops, the ISS EDUlearn® Safeguarding Bundles offer flexible, self-paced professional development for educators that fits into busy schedules. Participants can start at any time and work through content at their own pace while still earning certificates that contribute to ongoing professional growth.
The courses integrate evidence-based strategies, real-world scenarios, and tools that educators can immediately apply in their schools. The result is professional learning that feels relevant, actionable, and directly tied to daily practice.
At a price point of $500 USD, these bundles offer comprehensive, affordable access to multiple courses taught by leading experts in safeguarding and school operations. This approach allows schools and individuals to invest in learning that is both high-quality and cost-effective.
Just Announced: A New Standard for School Safety
The introduction of the Safeguarding Bundles marks a new chapter in the ISS commitment to professional learning and global school safety. These courses were developed to meet schools where they are, acknowledging that every institution is at a different stage in its safeguarding journey.
“Safeguarding is not a single policy or one-time training,” says Molly Fae, an ISS EDUlearn collaborator. “It’s a culture that must be continually built, reinforced, and adapted as our schools and communities change.”
By combining both pedagogical and operational expertise, ISS EDUlearn® gives educators the chance to learn new teaching skills that make a tangible difference in student wellbeing. From preventing harm to responding to emergencies with compassion and confidence, these bundles provide the guidance and support needed to make safeguarding a lived practice, not just a policy.
Building Confidence and Care in Every Classroom
When schools invest in safeguarding in schools, they invest in trust. They demonstrate to students, families, and staff that safety and wellbeing are foundational to learning. The new ISS EDUlearn® Safeguarding Bundles were created to help schools sustain that commitment, offering a structure for continual improvement and reflection.
By completing these professional development packages, educators and leaders will:
- Strengthen crisis response skills and safeguarding awareness
- Learn strategies for supporting neurodiverse and high-needs students
- Build systems that align safety, wellbeing, and compliance
- Gain the confidence to act decisively and empathetically in any situation
Safeguarding is everyone’s responsibility—and through accessible professional development, it becomes everyone’s strength.
