Police

The police are one of the primary guardians of children. The new legislation on Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO), 2012 has empowered the police to enable child friendly procedures while dealing with cases of child sexual abuse.

A police station that is aware of the various procedures can not only reduce the time taken to process a case but also ensure that the child does not have to go through any secondary trauma. Aarambh Resources for police can guide you through the required procedures in dealing with children who have been victims of sexual offences.
