The school places wellbeing and personal development at the core of its provision, with the KHDA rating describing the wellbeing provision as excellent and the school's safeguarding arrangements as outstanding. The KHDA inspection notes outstanding performance in Students' personal development, and that the well-being of staff and students is a priority embedded in school life. A Pastoral Care team and senior leadership are described as key drivers of a safe, nurturing environment with open engagement with parents and students. CBSE Inclusive Education materials used by the school explicitly address mental health and life-skills development as part of inclusive practice. The school also references a PERMAH-based approach to safeguarding, aiming to foster positive emotions, engagement, relationships, meaning, achievement, and health in its culture. Evidence of explicit counselling and emotional support is reinforced in the school safeguarding framework, which includes access to counselling and emotional support services for students and staff.

Amity School Dubai publishes an Inclusion policy that states it provides an inclusive learning environment addressing intellectual, social, emotional and personal development, and welcomes students of determination with admission not conditional on diagnosis. Early identification of students of determination is practiced through observation and diagnostic assessments, with provisions planned at entry to ensure access to a broad and balanced curriculum. The KHDA report confirms that provision for the inclusion of students of determination is very strong, with overall provision in this area rated good in the latest inspection. The school maintains a Student's of Determination Policy as part of its ASD policies, and CBSE Inclusive Education materials outline the use of Individual Education Plans (IEPs) and targeted supports for learners with disabilities. The CBSE Handbook also covers disability-related accommodations, identification, and intervention pathways to support diverse learning needs.

The policy covers mandatory reporting, safeguarding training for staff, safe recruitment, and the involvement of parents and external partners to safeguard students.
