In line with the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act, our school is committed to ensuring a safe and secure environment for all students. Below are our POCSO rules and safety measures:
1. Mandatory Reporting
All cases of sexual abuse must be reported to the local police station or child welfare committee within 24 hours of being notified.
2. Grievance Mechanisms
Our school provides grievance books, suggestion boxes, and an approachable Grievance Officer to receive concerns and report any sensitive issues or abuse.
3. Counselling and Awareness
Regular counselling and mentoring sessions are conducted to raise awareness about sexual abuse, including education on recognizing inappropriate behaviour.
4. Awareness on Safe and Unsafe Touch
Age-appropriate sessions are held for students, including Pre-Primary (PP) students, to help them understand the difference between good touch and bad touch.
5. POCSO Committee
Our POCSO committee comprises the Principal, Vice Principal, admin in-charge, senior faculty members, and a counsellor to ensure regular meetings and vigilant monitoring.
6. CCTV Surveillance
The entire school premises are under strict CCTV surveillance to enhance safety across all areas.
7. Female Security Patrols
Female security staff regularly patrol the campus to ensure students are supervised and in safe areas.
8. Washroom Inspections
Washrooms are inspected frequently to maintain a safe environment.
9. Inclusive Protection
POCSO rules apply to both genders, recognising that boys can also be victims of abuse.
10. Parent Awareness Sessions
Parent sessions are held twice per term to encourage open communication with children and ensure regular feedback on safety.
