The Women and Child Development (WCD) department, with technical support from the UNICEF, recently organised in the State capital a two-day training programme for developing a pool of master trainers who could enhance the capacity of the department’s child protection workforce under the Mission Vatsalya programme.
The training, held on Monday and Tuesday, was held for 30 child protection and child development staff of the department selected after open applications were called for from the department’s permanent employees with necessary qualifications and experience.
The training, the first of many, covered child protection principles, laws, policies, case management, counselling techniques and so on.
