Child Safety Committee

In the past 10 years, the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has issued eleven separate circulars emphasizing the importance of school security and student safety.

It has laid down briefs on fire safety management, structural safety, how to deal with violence and ragging in schools, how to protect children from sexual abuse, and how to ensure safety of children in school buses, among others.

As per the directions by CBSE for student safety. While these directions demand a decent amount of accountability from schools, a holistic approach to tackling the student safety issue is also needed. Schools must recognize the power of vigilance as the key to protecting children.
