➢ Teachers play a vital role in identifying and

responding to child protection concerns.

Child Protection
• Child protection refers to the safeguarding of children from
abuse, neglect, and harm. Teachers are often in a unique
position to observe changes in a child's behavior or well-being,
as they interact with students on a daily basis.

Support the Child

• Teachers should provide emotional support to the child and
make them feel safe and valued. Letting the child know that
they are there to help and support them can be essential
during a challenging time.

Engage with Parents or Guardians

• In some cases, it may be appropriate to have a conversation
with the child's parents or guardians to express concerns and
seek clarification. However, this should be done cautiously, as
it could potentially put the child at risk if abuse or neglect is
present.

Educate Students
• Teachers can incorporate age-appropriate lessons on
personal safety, boundaries, and recognizing inappropriate
behavior into their curriculum to empower students to protect
themselves and seek help when needed.

Self-Care
• Dealing with child protection concerns can be emotionally
challenging for teachers. It's important for educators to engage
in self care and seek support from colleagues, counselors, or
employee assistance programs to manage the stress and
emotions that may arise.

Stress Management
• It is the method of learning and applying various cognitive
and behavioral strategies with the aim of controlling and coping
with stress.

ORGANIZED RECREATIONAL ACTIVITIES AND SOCIAL

CLUBS FOR STUDENTS.
• Creates opportunities for learning, cooperation, support and
peace.

COUNSELING
• To address the emotional, social and behavioral needs of the
students.

CREATE A SCHEDULE THAT SUPPORTS STUDENTS

• Creating a schedule that supports students is a fundamental
aspect of effective education. It not only helps students
academically but also nurtures their emotional and personal
growth.

• A well-structured schedule provides a strong foundation for

lifelong learning and time management skills, reduces stress,
and enhances the overall quality of the educational experience.
