The Policy Framework for Safeguarding and Learner Protection in Dubai’s Private Educational Institutions establishes a comprehensive regulatory standard for safeguarding across Dubai’s private education sector.

It sets out a proactive, institution-wide approach to safeguarding, focused on prevention, early identification, effective response, and continuous improvement in how educational institutions address safeguarding concerns. The policy framework places learner safety, wellbeing, dignity, and voice at the centre of educational practice and makes safeguarding a shared responsibility across institutional leaders, staff, learners, families, and relevant partners.

The framework applies to all private educational institutions licensed and permitted by KHDA, including early childhood centres, schools, higher education institutions, and training and vocational institutes across both physical and virtual learning environments.
