POCSO Workshop – Creating a Safer Tomorrow
At New Horizon Public School, we strongly believe in following protocols and equipping our team with the right knowledge. Regular training sessions like these are part of our commitment to ensure that every staff member is prepared, informed, and proactive in safeguarding children.
An insightful POCSO workshop was conducted for the staff by our school counsellor, Ms. Srilekha, focusing on the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act. The session offered a clear and comprehensive understanding of this crucial legal framework, which safeguards children under the age of 18 from sexual assault, harassment, and exploitation.
Staff members were empowered with vital knowledge about:
- Key provisions of the Act
- The role of the school’s POCSO team
- Reporting protocols
- Legal implications for offenders
This informative session reinforced the school’s commitment to providing a safe, secure, and vigilant environment for every child.
