We are excited to report the success of the first in-person strategy forum of the British International Schools Safeguarding Coalition (BISSC). This landmark gathering brought together the six UK Government-recognised British International School Associations and The Safeguarding Alliance, united in a shared mission to champion global safeguarding
The British International School Safeguarding Coalition (BISSC) met in July. Here is a summary report of their meeting:
As part of COBIS’ commitment to sustainability, we are pleased to share the details of our recent carbon emission offsetting initiative. As a global organisation, we are committed to climate action worldwide and we are proud of our long standing partnership with Planet Mark who have helped COBIS to benchmark our own emissions. While we recognise that offsetting is just one piece of the puzzle, and we will continue to consider our journey towards net zero, we have recently invested in a carbon offsetting initiative via Planet Mark approved partners, Gold Standard.
COBIS is pleased to announce a new membership route for online schools that have been accredited through the Department for Education’s Online Education Accreditation Scheme (OEAS).
