International Task Force on Child Protection (ITFCP) formed in 2014 brought together governmental and non-profit agencies in law enforcement, child protection, accreditation, inspection and recruitment within International schools.
Three sub-committees:
- Evaluation committee – inspection and accreditation formats associated with safeguarding.
- Recruitment committee – examined tools to attract, screen, and conduct criminal background checks and vetting on potential members of the school workforce.
- Policies and resources committee – identified and produced resources for school communities ensuring effective operational policies for staff selection, employment and training to enhance child protection practice….
The ITFCP published their recommendations – via the ‘Education Portal’ of the International Centre for Missing and Exploited Children: www.icmec.org
