From MS Suzanne Murray Bed Hons NPQH:

As a Consultant, in the field of Safeguarding, Child Protection, Wellbeing and Inclusion, and as an educator, I believe that my understanding and approach to my work has been shaped by my deep understanding of learning organisations. I offer a range of services to support the education, safeguarding and protection of children in education, sport, extra-curricular and extended learning environments. I believe that policy is only effective when evident in practice and work to ensure that schools and organisations can adopt a strategic approach in a practical manner, allowing for a consistent understanding and implementation. The embedding of a “Culture of Care” which ensures that safeguarding is dovetailed with and builds on excellent pastoral care and wellbeing, ensure that children needs are prioritised and that actions speak louder than words.

Previously as Safeguarding Manager – Asia for the Cognita group, I developed and implemented a safeguarding strategy, within a “Culture of Care” ensuring consistent of practice across all Asia Schools and organizations within the group. I acted as an advisor, supporting training and development, implementation of safeguarding curriculum, case, crisis, and allegations management.

As a skilled administrator, with extensive leadership and management experience in 5 schools, I have led strategic, operational, and cultural change in education. I have experience of conducting school safeguarding reviews in national and international settings. My position and various roles have offered me the opportunity to public speaker at national level in the UK and Internationally and to contribute to the training of others.

I believe we have a responsibility to prepare children for the 21st Century and am I passionate in my belief that we have a moral duty to safeguard and protect all children in all learning environments.

Accreditation with the Global Education Accrediting Commission (GEAC) is a rigorous and comprehensive process that involves a thorough evaluation of an institution's mission, governance, programs, faculty, facilities, and resources. GEAC's accreditation process is designed to promote continuous improvement and to ensure that institutions are accountable to their stakeholders.

Accreditation with GEAC is a mark of distinction and a recognition of excellence in education. It demonstrates that an institution has undergone a thorough evaluation and has met or exceeded our high standards of quality and effectiveness. Accredited institutions benefit from increased credibility, visibility, and recognition, as well as access to a network of accredited institutions and other stakeholders.

The benefits of accreditation with GEAC extend beyond the institution itself. Accreditation also benefits students, parents, employers, and the broader community. Accreditation provides assurance that an institution is providing quality education that meets recognized standards, prepares students for success in their chosen fields, and contributes to the development of a skilled and knowledgeable workforce. Accreditation also provides a basis for transferability of credits and recognition of degrees across institutions and jurisdictions.

GEAC's accreditation process is ongoing, and accredited institutions are required to undergo periodic reviews and evaluations to maintain their accreditation. This process ensures that institutions continue to meet our high standards of quality and effectiveness and that they remain committed to continuous improvement and innovation.

Leading Your International School, (the first in a series of planned guidance books for international schools and their leaders) offers leaders a unique insight into the world of international education and practical steps to make your leadership count. Based on the collaborative efforts of its Author André Double, the book features first-hand accounts of how school visions are designed agreed-upon and implemented; how Human Resource Management plays a key role in our agile schools; and what exactly a school culture is and how to build one.

Unlike other books, the Authors actively encourage members of the ECIS community to shape its writing and their future content. They are keen to hear from any ECIS members who have a passion for educational leadership and want to help make our schools more inclusive and beacons of opportunity for those who serve and learn in them.
Each week they publish a blog on international schools and their leadership.

They encourage the blogs to reflect one of the books 9 chapters:

• Vision, Values and Virtues – What we need, and why we need it.
• Learning Above All Else - Often difficult in our international schools.
• Perspectives on international school leadership – Including the growing prevalence of coaching.
• Human and School Development - Coaching you through the employee lifecycle.
• Managing Your International School and how you can be your school's G.O.A.T leader.
• Your international School Culture - What it is represented by and how to develop it.
• Governing Your International School - What is different in an international context?
• Barriers to international school leadership - Comprising personal, school-wide and international barriers.

They also have a monthly podcast, hosted by Vikas Pahwa. All members of the ECIS community are welcome to apply to be a guest.
LYIS values: Ethical Leaders, Opportunity and Sustainability. So far, it has funded one of its members (from India) to complete their National Professional Qualification for Leading Teacher Development (NPQLTD).

For the second of its planned books LYIS would be delighted to hear from and collaborate with all individuals and stakeholders invested in the success of their international schools – with a particular emphasis on those schools 1-5 years in age.
