Heading

India has the world's largest adolescent population of 253 million aged 10-19 years, accounting for every fifth person (UNICEF). This demographic divide can drive the nation's progress if we safeguard, educate, and equip them with essential skills.

Organizations, Schools and Institutions dealing directly or indirectly with children, have a moral as well as legal duty to draft CPP to safeguard children’s rights. Developing a robust Child Protection Policy (CPP) is not just about upholding human rights—it’s an investment in building a stronger, more secure nation.

Our services help organisations draft and implement effective CPPs, ensuring the safety and well-being of every child.

What is the
Child Protection Policy (CPP)?

Child Protection Policies (CPP) in India provide guidelines and measures to ensure children's safety, well-being, and rights. These policies aim to prevent child abuse, exploitation, neglect, and harm, fostering a nurturing environment for healthy growth.

Laws To Safeguard Children

As a signatory to the UNCRC, India has a robust legal framework to safeguard children, including:

Juvenile Justice (Care and Protection of Children) Act, 2015
Protection Of Children from Sexual Offences Act, 2012
Pre-Conception And Pre-Natal Diagnostic Techniques (PCPNDT) Act, 1994
Commission For Protection Of Child Rights Act, 2005
Right Of Children To Free And Compulsory Education Act, 2009
Prohibition Of Child Marriage Act, 2006
Child Labour (Prohibition And Regulation) Amendment Act, 2016

Frequently Asked Questions

Any organisation that works with children, including schools, NGOs, childcare centres, and youth organisations, needs a Child Protection Policy. It's essential for ensuring the safety and well-being of children in our care.

A comprehensive Child Protection Policy should include components such as definitions of child abuse and neglect, reporting procedures, incident response protocols, and training requirements for staff and volunteers.

To ensure our Child Protection Policy is effective, we need to regularly review and update it, provide training to staff and volunteers, and establish a culture of zero tolerance for child abuse or neglect.

Not having a Child Protection Policy can lead to serious consequences, including harm to children, damage to our reputation, and legal liability.

Our Child Protection Policy Document Service can help you develop a comprehensive and customised policy that meets your organisation's specific needs. Our experts will work with you to identify risks, develop procedures, and create a policy that ensures the safety and well-being of children in your care.
