\n2) Schools will need to get the security \/safety audit done on their premises and personnel from their respective local police station within the next two months.<\/span>\n
\n3) Install CCTV Cameras at all vulnerable areas\/point in the School premises and\u00a0<\/span>ensure they are functional at all times.<\/span>\n
\n4) Police verification and psychometric evaluation must be conducted for all staff employees, emphasizing this be done meticulously for non-teaching staff as well like bus conductors, drivers, peon, and other support staff.<\/span>\n
\n5) Ensure that supporting staff is employed only from authorized agencies and\u00a0<\/span>proper records are maintained.<\/span>\n
\n6) Constitute parent-teacher-students committee to address the safety and security needs of\u00a0<\/span>the students and to take regular feedback from parents in this regard.<\/span>\n
\n7) Closely monitor access to school buildings by outsiders and visitors.<\/span>\n
\n8) Provide training and development for staff to address their responsibilities to protect children from any form of abuse.<\/span>\n
\n9) The schools shall constitute separate committees for redressal of public, staff, parents, students grievances, Internal Complaints committee on sexual harassment and committees under POCSO (Protection of Children from Sexual Offence) Act, 2012 and details of the these committees along with contact details shall be displayed prominently on School Notice Board and conspicuously on the school website for information of all stakeholders.<\/span>\n
