Lahore American School is committed to ensuring the safety, protection, and wellbeing of every student. LAS has a designated Child Protection Officer (CPO) responsible for leading safeguarding efforts and ensuring concerns are taken seriously, addressed promptly, and handled with discretion. We strive to create a supportive school culture where students are protected, feel safe to speak up, and are cared for with dignity and respect.
