June 17, 2024, Lalitpur – Saathi organized an orientation program aimed at refreshing the knowledge and skills of residential staff on critical topics related to child safeguarding, involving 22 dedicated staff members from all four of the Children Safer homes. The sessions, facilitated by the Children Program management team, covered essential subjects such as Child Safety and Violence Prevention, organizational Policies, Basic First Aid Techniques, and Professional Etiquette.
The primary objective was to ensure that staff are well-equipped to protect children from harm, respond effectively to any instances of violence, and maintain a consistent and safe environment in the safer homes.
