CPC

Functions of the Child Protection Committee (CPC)

• The teacher and/or CPC member will talk further with the child to reassure them and to clarify and record what has happened.
• The CPC member, in consultation with the Principal, will decide whether the matter needs to be referred to a counselor and, where there are concerns about possible abuse, will inform the POCSO wing of the Police department.
• If a complaint about possible child abuse is made against a member of staff, the staff member may be removed from duties involving direct contact with pupils and may be suspended from duty as a precautionary measure pending investigations.
• It will be explained to the child that it may be necessary to pass information on to the CPC and other agencies and that no promise of confidentiality can be given; detailed records will be kept of all concerns and actions.

How a Parent Can Raise a Child Protection Concern

• Talk to the class teacher in the first instance.
• If still concerned, talk to the Principal or the designated CPC member.
• En‑capsule the complaint and discussion with the CPC member or Principal in an email or written communication.

The Child Protection Committee

A child may suffer or be at risk of suffering from one or more types of abuse, and abuse may take place on a single occasion or repeatedly over time. Certain signs may give rise to concern but are not in themselves proof that abuse has occurred.

Child Protection Committee Members

Role of the Designated CPC Member

The designated CPC member implements and maintains policies and procedures that protect students from abuse, neglect, exploitation and other forms of harm.

They act as a point of contact for students who experience abuse or neglect and work with school authorities to ensure appropriate action is taken.

They also support teachers and staff in identifying and responding to child protection issues and in promoting a safe and nurturing learning environment for all students.

Grievance Redressal Committee
