CONFIDENTIALITY AND CONSENT

During a pupil’s time at Harrow Hong Kong, the School will inevitably receive and hold quite a lot of information about them, and their family. As a general principle, this information will be treated as confidential, only discussed or shared among professionals at Harrow Hong Kong on a “need to know” basis and certainly not passed on to anybody outside the School (including other parents) without good reason i.e. duty of care and with parents’ explicit consent.

RECORDS

A written record is kept of the following: • All medication, treatment and first aid administered to pupils, giving the name, date, medication/treatment, reason for administering (if not prescribed) and signed by the member of staff responsible. • All significant illnesses, accidents or injuries to pupils (either as part of the above medical records or separately). • Major behavioural incidents showing the pupil’s name, reason for the sanction and the person administering the reflective work. • Any safeguarding allegations or suspicions of abuse. • Any incidents of bullying (either as the victim or the perpetrator.) • All fire drills and the regular testing of emergency lighting, fire alarms and fire fighting equipment.

CHANGE IN DETAILS

If any of your or your child’s personal details change, it is the parents’ responsibility to inform the Lower School Office at ls-info@harrowschool.hk to ensure these details are up to date. This is vital to ensure we send letters and any other information to the correct email or postal address. The School will then update all the relevant information on our MIS system. It is also essential we have the correct contact phone number of both parents and a guardian in the event of an emergency.
