Protection of Child Rights

Prevention of Child Abuse

Module- 18
Preparedness of a Teacher
Children can be subjected to neglect, abuse, violence and exploitation anywhere. There
is some abuse that may happen inside the school premises, while a lot of it is what
children suffer at home and in non-school environments. A child in the class may be a
victim of violence/abuse/exploitation that happens outside the school. A teacher cannot
ignore it. Rather a teacher must help the child. This too is possible only if a teacher is
able to identify that there is a problem and he/she spends time to understand it and
explore possible solutions.

Always remember that a teacher's duty to protect children does not come to an end
once he/she is out of the school premises. The life of a child who is out of the school
system can be changed with the positive intervention of the teacher. The teacher just
has to prepare him/herself for it and know more about their problems as well as what he/
shecan do to help.

Once the teacher is mentally prepared and equipped to tackle the problem he/she will be
able to do many things he/she has never dreamt he/she is capable of doing.
How can Teachers protect the
Rights of a Child
The teachers should be child friendly and follow the
given below strategies.
● Be a Friend, Philosopher and Guide to the child.
● Create a relationship where children can express their views, concerns, anguish,
fear etc.
● Try to engage with children in informal discussions.
● Be a good listener. Share and discuss various issues and problems which children
are facing either in school or at home
● Organise meetings of children with school authorities.
● Discuss child rights issues with the parents in the PTA meetings.
● Say NO to corporal punishment. Use positive reinforcement techniques like
dialogue and counselling to discipline children.
● Say NO to discrimination. Take active steps to reach out to children from minority
and other discriminated groups.
● Encourage them to put forward their views before the adults and the community.
● Involve children in organising events.
● Give them responsibilities and at the same time give them the required guidance.
