The resource persons were Mrs. Bronwen Coe, International Safeguarding Lead of Gateway Education Global, and Mr. Cesar Valdez.

On Wednesday, an additional professional development session was provided for teachers, staff, and parent volunteers, focusing on strengthening safeguarding awareness and practices within the school community.

Overall, the three-day visit was very productive and beneficial. Mrs. Coe and her team will provide a comprehensive written report with findings and recommendations for further improvement through the Project Safeguarding Assessment (PSA) .

This initiative is part of a collaborative effort between Gateway Education Global (GEG) and Hope Academy to ensure a safe and nurturing environment for all students.
