The Office of Superintendent of Police (Training) and Child Rights Commission launched a series of training for Police Sub Inspectors at GO’s Training Hall in presence of Sanjith Rodrigues, Secretary, GSCPCR, Sucheta B Dessai, SP (Training), Peter F Borges, Chairperson, GSCPCR and Child Welfare Committee, North Goa, and South Goa. The training will reach out to more than 260 PSIs from January 19-24. The training revolved around the need for convergence between police and child protection system to ensure adequate support services for children as provided in POCSO Rules 2020. While it is important to secure punishment for the perpetrator, focus should also be laid on restorative care and justice, said Peter F Borges, Chairperson, Goa State Commission for Protection of Child Rights, who led the training and called for multi-disciplinary approach on linking POCSO victims to the child protection system.
