The CIC framework aligns IB program requirements with Venezuelan law to protect the rights and wellbeing of children and adolescents. The Manual de Acuerdos de Convivencia organizes the rights and duties of parents, students, and teachers and provides a system for resolving conflicts, including school mediation and an internal disciplinary system for students. It establishes a Mediator Committee and outlines disciplinary procedures and consequences. The manual references safeguarding bodies such as the Child Protection Council and defender's offices to ensure the protection of students. These mechanisms support maintaining a safe and respectful learning environment.
