Safety of students is a collective responsibility, say experts
The recent allegations of sexual harassment and misconduct against a teacher in a private school in the city, which spurred similar complaints on social media from other city school students, have thrown the spotlight on the need for a robust child protection policy in schools.
Stating that there was complete mismanagement of priorities among schools, Vidya Reddy from TULIR-Centre for the Prevention and Healing of Child Sexual Abuse, recalled an instance where a school refused to suspend an employee despite concerns raised by parents about his behaviour, since they were worried about finding a replacement for him.
