POCSO-COMMITTEE
To safeguard the interests of the learners, Samashti International School set up the POCSO Committee (set up under the provisions of Prevention of Children from Sexual Offence Act 2012) on April 1 2022. 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 towards themselves. Training sessions are conducted for the faculty and staff to recognize and report issues of abuse and neglect. We Hear You boxes are placed strategically and checked regularly by the Committee members to address the complaints if any.
Through its awareness campaigns and programs, the Committee strives to ensure that all learners are treated with dignity and respect at all times. In a series of Awareness programs and Special School assemblies conducted in the School throughout the Academic Session, learner participation is encouraged. Age-appropriate videos are shown and self-defense sessions are also conducted as a part of the Awareness programs.
