One-Day Training Programme on Child Rights (Surakshit Bachpan) by CRHR, Unitedworld School of Law, Karnavati University with NHRC, Gandhinagar [Free; 27 October 2026]

The Centre for Research on Human Rights (CRHR), Unitedworld School of Law, Karnavati University, Gandhinagar, in collaboration with the National Human Rights Commission (NHRC), is organising a One-Day Training Programme on Child Rights on Tuesday, 27 October 2026.

The theme is Surakshit Bachpan: From Awareness to Action - A Practical Training on Child Rights and Protection Mechanisms. It is designed as a focused, practical sensitisation programme to strengthen awareness, understanding and institutional responses towards child rights and child protection.

• Classroom Bullying: how bullying can be recognised, how students and bystanders can respond, and how teachers and school authorities can intervene effectively and create a safer school environment.
• Cyberbullying: online harassment and related risks, appropriate responses, digital safety, preservation of relevant evidence and the mechanisms available for seeking assistance.
• POCSO and Child Protection: practical aspects of responding when a child discloses abuse or faces a situation requiring protection, with attention to the role of teachers, schools and other responsible adults in activating protection mechanisms.
• Healing Through Safety, Trauma-Informed Care and Protection for Children: how trauma affects children, how to respond to their emotional and behavioural needs, and how to create safe, child-sensitive environments.

The training adopts an interactive, practice-oriented approach rather than conventional lectures. Sessions will use short films, real-life situations, case discussions, interactive activities and experience-sharing, with an emphasis on moving from awareness to action: recognising situations that need intervention, knowing where to seek assistance and responding appropriately.

The programme is open to school students, teachers, principals and education officers, NGO representatives and anyone interested in child rights and protection.
