About Centre for Child Protection

To affirm Rajasthan Government’s Commitment towards adopting a rights-based approach to

address the continuing and emerging challenges in the situation of children, the Sardar Patel University of Police, Security and Criminal Justice (SPUP), established Centre for Child Protection (CCP) in the year 2015. CCP was instituted with the mandate to strengthen preventive and protective child protection systems as its core area of work and to be the coordinating link between different departments working for and with the children for creating and promoting just, protective and enabling environment for children, in partnership with the various child rights actors. As a centre of excellence on study, research and capacity building on child protection, CCP, Jaipur, Rajasthan, has made significant step forward towards its vision and mission for children.

The efforts for child protection in our country are in a nascent stage with poor understanding about the child protection issue among stakeholders. There are very few child protection specialized agencies existent in country that can lead on building the capacity of government officials and civil societies working in the area of Child Protection. Currently there are very fewer – academic courses in any university and colleges across country that creates professionals with knowledge and expertise in child protection. None of the social science colleges and university teaches child protection as subject in any ways while child protection programming and its implementation would need huge number of professionals skilled in various aspects of child protection issues resulted into huge dearth of people with right set of knowledge, attitude and skills in the area of child protection. As per the estimate more than 8.2 million stakeholders at different level in country and 1.1 Million stakeholders in Rajasthan required training and support in addressing the child protection issues with efficient and effective manners. To reach to these stakeholders’ state and district level highly trained and professional experts will be created by the specialized child protection institute through different kind of short and long terms courses and capacity building programmes on regular basis.
