POCSO Committee

To safeguard the interests of the learners, Kasiga School has set up the POCSO Committee (set up under the provisions of the Prevention of Children from Sexual Offence Act 2012). The committee works towards safeguarding the learners from the challenges they face in
their formative years at school.

The Committee takes up age-appropriate initiatives to create awareness about sexual exploitation and to ensure that all learners are aware of their rights and responsibilities themselves. Training sessions are conducted for the faculty and staff to recognize and report issues of abuse and neglect.

Through its awareness campaigns and programs, the Committee strives to ensure that all learners are always treated with dignity and respect. In a series of Awareness programs and Special School assemblies are conducted in the school throughout the year, and learner participation is encouraged. Age-appropriate videos are shown, and self-defence sessions are also conducted as a part of the Awareness programs.
