Safeguarding Children: The Children Protection Policy at SchoolsA
Kids are amazing, aren’t they? Their happiness, anger, or even the bullying gives us a message, a warning. In this short piece, we’ll try to navigate some of the key principles of safeguarding children. The aim of this article is to introduce you to the children protection policy at schools in the UK.
Let’s start with the definitions first, and we can take a tour into the policy statements and sensitive issues later on.
Role of community and media in child protectionNilendra Kumar
This presentation is an attempt to discuss the significant role that the community and media can play to curb child abuse and enhance child protection.
As elected representatives of your gram panchayat you represent all the persons who live in your village. You also represent the children, even though they did not vote you in. As the elected representatives you are responsible for ensuring that the rights of children are protected.
Lest we forget, the children may not be voters today, but
will be tomorrow, when they become adults. They will then hold us, adults of today, accountable for how they been brought up.
As you are well aware, children in every society face abuse, violence and exploitation. If you look around you, you will see it. Little children engaged in work and deprived of schooling- many of them bonded-parents beating their children, teachers beating children in schools or discriminating against them because of their caste or religion, girl children not being allowed to be born or killed soon after birth, or facing discrimination in the family and society because they are girls.
As an elected representative of your community and
people what will you do when you see a child being abused and exploited?

Ethanol (CH3CH2OH), or beverage alcohol, is a two-carbon alcohol
that is rapidly distributed in the body and brain. Ethanol alters many
neurochemical systems and has rewarding and addictive properties. It
is the oldest recreational drug and likely contributes to more morbidity,
mortality, and public health costs than all illicit drugs combined. The
5th edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders
(DSM-5) integrates alcohol abuse and alcohol dependence into a single
disorder called alcohol use disorder (AUD), with mild, moderate,
and severe subclassifications (American Psychiatric Association, 2013).
In the DSM-5, all types of substance abuse and dependence have been
combined into a single substance use disorder (SUD) on a continuum
from mild to severe. A diagnosis of AUD requires that at least two of
the 11 DSM-5 behaviors be present within a 12-month period (mild
AUD: 2–3 criteria; moderate AUD: 4–5 criteria; severe AUD: 6–11 criteria).
The four main behavioral effects of AUD are impaired control over
drinking, negative social consequences, risky use, and altered physiological
effects (tolerance, withdrawal). This chapter presents an overview
of the prevalence and harmful consequences of AUD in the U.S.,
the systemic nature of the disease, neurocircuitry and stages of AUD,
comorbidities, fetal alcohol spectrum disorders, genetic risk factors, and
pharmacotherapies for AUD.

Flu Vaccine Alert in Bangalore Karnatakaaddon Scans
As flu season approaches, health officials in Bangalore, Karnataka, are urging residents to get their flu vaccinations. The seasonal flu, while common, can lead to severe health complications, particularly for vulnerable populations such as young children, the elderly, and those with underlying health conditions.
Dr. Vidisha Kumari, a leading epidemiologist in Bangalore, emphasizes the importance of getting vaccinated. "The flu vaccine is our best defense against the influenza virus. It not only protects individuals but also helps prevent the spread of the virus in our communities," he says.
This year, the flu season is expected to coincide with a potential increase in other respiratory illnesses. The Karnataka Health Department has launched an awareness campaign highlighting the significance of flu vaccinations. They have set up multiple vaccination centers across Bangalore, making it convenient for residents to receive their shots.
To encourage widespread vaccination, the government is also collaborating with local schools, workplaces, and community centers to facilitate vaccination drives. Special attention is being given to ensuring that the vaccine is accessible to all, including marginalized communities who may have limited access to healthcare.
Residents are reminded that the flu vaccine is safe and effective. Common side effects are mild and may include soreness at the injection site, mild fever, or muscle aches. These side effects are generally short-lived and far less severe than the flu itself.
Healthcare providers are also stressing the importance of continuing COVID-19 precautions. Wearing masks, practicing good hand hygiene, and maintaining social distancing are still crucial, especially in crowded places.
Protect yourself and your loved ones by getting vaccinated. Together, we can help keep Bangalore healthy and safe this flu season. For more information on vaccination centers and schedules, residents can visit the Karnataka Health Department’s official website or follow their social media pages.
Stay informed, stay safe, and get your flu shot today!
Lung Cancer: Artificial Intelligence, Synergetics, Complex System Analysis, S...Oleg Kshivets
RESULTS: Overall life span (LS) was 2252.1±1742.5 days and cumulative 5-year survival (5YS) reached 73.2%, 10 years – 64.8%, 20 years – 42.5%. 513 LCP lived more than 5 years (LS=3124.6±1525.6 days), 148 LCP – more than 10 years (LS=5054.4±1504.1 days).199 LCP died because of LC (LS=562.7±374.5 days). 5YS of LCP after bi/lobectomies was significantly superior in comparison with LCP after pneumonectomies (78.1% vs.63.7%, P=0.00001 by log-rank test). AT significantly improved 5YS (66.3% vs. 34.8%) (P=0.00000 by log-rank test) only for LCP with N1-2. Cox modeling displayed that 5YS of LCP significantly depended on: phase transition (PT) early-invasive LC in terms of synergetics, PT N0—N12, cell ratio factors (ratio between cancer cells- CC and blood cells subpopulations), G1-3, histology, glucose, AT, blood cell circuit, prothrombin index, heparin tolerance, recalcification time (P=0.000-0.038). Neural networks, genetic algorithm selection and bootstrap simulation revealed relationships between 5YS and PT early-invasive LC (rank=1), PT N0—N12 (rank=2), thrombocytes/CC (3), erythrocytes/CC (4), eosinophils/CC (5), healthy cells/CC (6), lymphocytes/CC (7), segmented neutrophils/CC (8), stick neutrophils/CC (9), monocytes/CC (10); leucocytes/CC (11). Correct prediction of 5YS was 100% by neural networks computing (area under ROC curve=1.0; error=0.0).
CONCLUSIONS: 5YS of LCP after radical procedures significantly depended on: 1) PT early-invasive cancer; 2) PT N0--N12; 3) cell ratio factors; 4) blood cell circuit; 5) biochemical factors; 6) hemostasis system; 7) AT; 8) LC characteristics; 9) LC cell dynamics; 10) surgery type: lobectomy/pneumonectomy; 11) anthropometric data. Optimal diagnosis and treatment strategies for LC are: 1) screening and early detection of LC; 2) availability of experienced thoracic surgeons because of complexity of radical procedures; 3) aggressive en block surgery and adequate lymph node dissection for completeness; 4) precise prediction; 5) adjuvant chemoimmunoradiotherapy for LCP with unfavorable prognosis.

3. Purpose of this manual
This practical guide provides tips for trainers on how to have the voices of
children in contact with the law heard by those working with them through
using ‘The OneMinutesJr’ videos. These short videos can be used by trainers during both pre service and in service training programs for judges,
prosecutors, police, defense lawyers, social workers, educators, staff of
closed facilities, etc.
How children in contact with the law and at risk of offending are treated by
the justice and protection systems is a critical factor in determining their
future, whether they will offend or reoffend, and whether they will be successfully reintegrated into their families, schools and communities. The videos are a powerful tool to raise awareness about the experiences, conditions
and hopes of children in contact with the law, to enhance respect for child
rights. And to contribute to developing child friendly policies and practices
for reintegration of children in contact with the law and those at risk.
Introduction
‘The OneMinutesJr’ video workshop for young people in contact with the
law was organized within the Child Protection Program of UNICEF Tajikistan in July 2012. This workshop was part of a UNICEF Regional Office
project "Monitoring of freedom from torture and ill-treatment of children
in the juvenile justice system" funded by the EU. The workshop was held
under the auspices of the Ombudsman Institute, and was organized with
logistics support of the NGO Child Rights Centre.
Seventeen young people, who have been in contact with the law at different
phases of their lives from different regions of the country, were invited to
take part at this ‘OneMinutesJr’ videos workshop to share their lives, experiences and aspirations with others. With support from UNICEF consultants, Chris Schuepp and Kristina Kersa, specialized in working with children,
1
4. they learned to use video editing resources in order to write screenplays,
film, edit and produced twelve one minute videos that are relevant to their
lives.
The topics of these one minute videos in this publication were all chosen by
the young people themselves and cover many issues related to their lives
including: child care and family relations, law enforcement, trial procedures,
sentencing, torture and impact of closed facilities on children. They give a
glimpse into the lives of a growing number of vulnerable children who are
often marginalized from society.
Video clips were filmed and first presented in July 2012 where children
were promised that efforts will be made to have their voices heard by a
wider audience. With this publication, we are keeping our promise to them,
and hope we hope that you will find it useful in your trainings to have their
voices heard.
How to use these 12 videos
In the practical guide, for each video, there is a list of facts. Also below, in
order to facilitate discussion and help your audience to think about the
core messages and learn about the facts, there is a list of questions for your
use as needed.
During your sessions, you may use all the 12 videos or only some of them
depending on the topics you are covering. In your trainings, you may start
your sessions on different topics by showing one of the relevant videos to
your subject matter and then initiate discussion accordingly. We encourage
you to use interactive methods. You may want to divide your audience into
small groups, provide them with some of the questions and ask them to
come up with responses to share with others afterwards. If you are training
a mix group of professionals you may want to divide them by their professions to analyze the videos. Alternately, you might choose to have a plenary
discussion with the whole group.

6. Video 1: Lifeboat,
by Abdulloev Parviz, 17 years old.
The video is about a boy who is often in conflict with his brother. His parents get tired of it and send him to a special school.
Facts to get across:
The best interest of the child shall be a primary consideration for
deciding to send a child to a closed facility.
Detention should be used only
as a last resort and only when a child
is in immediate danger to himself/
herself or to others.
Capacities of families to understand and support their children
can be enhanced within their own
communities with support of social
workers.
Diversion away from the formal criminal justice system can have
many positive benefits: it can reduce rates of re-offending, avoid the
labeling of children and parents, encourage reparation to communities, can support children and parents in solving their problems in a
different way. In addition, it is often much cheaper than court procedures and detention.
Video 2: Case closed, by Aziz Mamadjonov,
16 years old.
This video is about a boy who admitted that he committed one offence but
the police officer forces him to admit another offence as well. The police
officer uses physical abuse. The police officer is later taken into custody
4
7. himself because of his behaviour. There is no space in the police department for police officers who behave like him.
Facts to get across:
The state will respect child's rights without discrimination of any
kind.
Every child has the right to express his/her views freely.
Contacts between the law enforcement agencies/Child Right department (CRU)/any official and a juvenile offender shall be managed

the well-being of the juvenile and avoid harm to her/him.
Juveniles who are detained under arrest or waiting trial are presumed innocent and shall be treated as such.
There should always be a legal representative present during investigation.

8. Video 3: How to talk to children,
by Dilovar Isoboyev, 16 years old.
The movie is about a boy who is shouted at by a police officer. The boy
explains to the police officer how police should talk to a child.
Facts to get across:
Information and advice should be provided to children in a manner
adapted to their age and maturity, in a language which they can understand and which is gender and culture sensitive.
Any contact by the police/CRU/prosecutor/judge/teacher/JJAP staff/
other official, with a child should protect the child's rights and avoid
any harm. This includes being protected from harsh language and
physical violence.
All the basic safeguards that should exist for children at all stages of
proceedings are:
the presumption of innocence;
the right to be notified of the
charges;
the right to remain silent;
the right to counsel;
the rights to translator;
the right to the presence of a

9. Video 4: Three months and sixteen days,
by Dostun Usmonkulov, 17 years old.
A boy is arrested by the police and is waiting for his investigation progress
which takes a very long time. Eventually, the boy is released.
Facts to get across:
The stigma of being associated with the criminal justice system can
damage a child's long term prospects.
Police custody should not exceed 24 hours according to international standards. However, according to national legislation police
custody should not exceed 72 hours, if a judge did not made a
decision about application of a
detention, a child should be
released.
Protocol of detention should
be fulfilled within 3 hours from
the moment of apprehension.
Then, the child and the file has
to be brought to court for decision on pre-trial detention that
should not exceed 3 months. Only in exceptional difficult cases, an
extension of another 3 months should be possible. In cases where
there is no detention whatsoever, an average of 3 months (not
more than up to 6 month total). It is important to ensure that
court proceedings are completed as prompt as possible to protect
the best interest of the child.
Throughout the proceedings, the juvenile shall have the right to be
represented by a legal advisor. Interrogations without a lawyer are
prohibited.

10. Video 5: Torture,
by Djumahoni Faizullo, 17 years old.
A boy made a rap about his experience of torture. He is begging the officials not to behave this way. Warning: The boy is using very strong language
to express his feelings.
Facts to get across:
8
Children who are arrested and held in detention are vulnerable to
violence, abuse, neglect and exploitation at the hands of police,
fellow detainees and staff in detention facilities.
Girls can be especially vulnerable to sexual abuse. Girls should be
placed in detention facility separately from boys, juveniles separately
from adults and suspects separately from accused.
States should ensure the child
protection from any form of hardship
while going through state and non-state
justice processes. The states shall implement appropriate measures to ensure
this.
Abuse frequently goes unreported and remains invisible. The role of the
ombudsman in protecting the rights of
the children especially in cases involving violations of rights of individuals by the State should be explained.
Any treatment that leads to resentment and a sense of having been
treated unfairly will make rehabilitation more difficult.
On admission, all juveniles shall be given a copy of the rules governing the detention facility, address of the authorities competent to
receive complaints, and those who provide legal assistance in a
manner enabling full comprehension.
11.
All disciplinary measures constituting cruel, inhuman or degrading
treatment shall be strictly prohibited, including corporal punishment. Placement to the Solitary Isolator violates a number of International Documents.
Video 6: Red and green,
by Firuz Safarbek, 19 years old.
In the video, it is shown that children in closed facilities often receive
punishment because of somebody else’s wrong doing. The video demonstrates the unfairness of this treatment.
Facts to get across:
In every action taken thought must be given to how the action will
impact a child, or a group of children and to ensure that the best
interest of the child/children are met.
The objective of rehabilitation
and treatment of juveniles
placed in institutions is to provide care, protection, and all
necessary individual assistancesocial, educational, vocational,
psychological, medical, and physical- that they may require in
view of their age, sex and personality to ensure their integration back to their communities as
responsible individuals.
Every juvenile should have the right to make a request or complaint.

12. Video 7: De facto, de juro,
by Yunus Amirov, 13 years old.
According to the legislation of Tajikistan, age of criminal responsibility is 16,
and for aggravated crimes it is 14, however, it not always taken into consideration.
Facts to get across:
10
Minimum age of criminal responsibility should be observed.
Children can only be arrested if they are at or above the age of
criminal responsibility.
Upon the apprehension of a
juvenile, her/his parents or guardian
shall be immediately notified of such
apprehension, and where such immediate notification is not possible,
the parents/guardian shall be notified
within the shortest possible time
thereafter.
The first encounter a child has with the justice system will have a
lasting impact on that child. Treating a child with fairness and respect reflects the importance of respecting the rights of others,
which prepares the ground for the process of rehabilitation that
may follow.
A good first experience with the police will give children more
respect for the police and the law in general.
The majority of children -defined as those under 18- in contact with
the law come from deprived and marginalised communities and
their exposure to crime often reflects the failure of the state to
protect or provide for them. In many countries there is a blurring
of the boundaries between children who commit offences and children who are in need of protection such as those living and work-
13. ing on the streets, those with mental illnesses and child victims of
sexual abuse. The result is that children in need of support and
protection often times end up being criminalised for their conduct.
Video 8: Isolation,
by Khurshed Saidov, 19 years old.
The video shows how bad the conditions are in the isolation room, how a
child placed in the isolation room is treated and how that makes him feel.
Facts to get across:
Only minimum force should be used in dealing with children on
arrest. There should be no use of handcuffs or restraints unless it is
necessary for the protection of others or the protection of the
child against harming him/herself, and no degrading treatment.
Rehabilitation will work most effectively in settings where children
feel safe and secure, where adequate medical care is provided and
basic needs are met.
When a child commits a crime he or she harms the community as a
whole, as well as any individual victims. Criminal justice systems
which focus on punishment
and retribution do little to
acknowledge these harms.
They also fail to identify or
acknowledge the problems
and issues that led to commit
the crime in the first place.
The design of detention facilities for juveniles and the physical environment should be in line
with the rehabilitative aim of residential treatment which is to ensure that the child can be reintegrated back to community as a
responsible individual.
11
14.
Every child should have suitable time for daily free exercise, and
recreational and physical training should be offered.
Every juvenile of compulsory school age has the right to education
and vocational training suited to his/her needs and abilities and
designed to prepare him/her for return to society.
Every means should be provided to ensure that juveniles have adequate communication with the outside world which is an integral
part of the right to fair and humane treatment and is essential to
the preparation of juveniles for their return to society.
Disciplinary measures should always be consistent with upholding
the inherent dignity of the child and the fundamental objective of
institutional care, namely instilling a sense of justice, self-respect and
respect for the basic needs of every person.
The reduction of diet and the restriction or denial of contact with
family members should be completely prohibited.
Video 9: My lawyer,
by Muhammadyusuf Janaidov, 19 years old.
The child gets a lawyer but the lawyer is not supportive and helpful for the
child.
Facts to get across:
Children should always be
ensured a fair and just trail. This includes being supported by a competent lawyer and in an atmosphere of
understanding conducive to their best
interest.
The criminal justice system can
be intimidating for children and they
12
15. need help to exercise their right to be heard. To this end, police,
prosecutors, defence lawyers, guardians, social welfare officer’s
probation officers and judges should be trained to engage with children.
Video 10: My dear mother,
by Muslihiddin Usmonov. 17 years old.
A beautiful song is heard wherein a boy sings about his own sad feelings,
and how he misses his mom while he is in detention.
Facts to get across:
Institution should encourage contact with family and other social
networks to support children.
It should promote services to
help with their transition back
into society.
The individual needs of children
should be addressed such as
family counselling.
Children with anti-social behaviour can hide their needs.
Children in detention are vulnerable. Safeguarding children is therefore crucial and all staff needs to be aware of the signs that a child is
in distress.
The majority of children -defined as those under 18- in contact with
the law come from deprived and marginalised communities and
their exposure to crime often reflects the failure of the state to
protect or provide for them. In many countries there is a blurring
of the boundaries between children who commit offences and children who are in need of protection such as those living and working on the streets, those with mental illnesses and child victims of
13
16. sexual violence. The result is that children in need of support and
protection often times find that their conduct is instead criminalised.
Video 11: Cold, by Parviz Yunusov,
18 years old.
The boy is wondering how long they will keep him at the police station. He
does not understand why he is kept under such conditions. He hopes his
normal life will soon start.
Facts to get across:
14
In order to ensure the right to be heard, a child must receive adequate information about the process, the choice available and the
possible consequences of their
choices.
The methodology used
to question children and the
environment where this questioning take place must be childfriendly and adapted to the
needs of each child.
In order to best fulfil
their functions, police officers
who frequently or exclusively deal with juveniles or who are primarily engaged in the prevention of juvenile crime shall be specially
instructed and trained.
17. Video 12: Letter, by Zoir Komilov, 18 years old.
A letter is written by a father who requests the authorities to have his son
sent to a closed facility. The boy explains how he feels about it.
Facts to get across:
Government should take measures to promote family cohesion and
harmony and to discourage the separation of children from their
families unless circumstances
affecting the welfare and
future of the child leave no
other viable alternative.
Preventative approaches
that involve the whole family
are more likely to lead to
sustained improvement in
the behaviour of children.
All children have the right to
be protected from harm. Although family is the preferred place for
all children, sometimes relationships between child and his/her family can break down. When this is the case there should be offered
community based services which offer appropriate counselling,
guidance and recreational activities to children.
An effective diversion and alternatives to imprisonment mechanism
should be developed. Children in contact with the law, at risk and
with anti-social behaviour fare better with fair treatment and in the
communities instead of being locked up away from the society.

The development of both materials was initiated at UNICEF under the
leadership of the Child Protection Section. This practical guide was
written by Marja Talen, UNV Social Work Specialist, working within
the child protection team of UNICEF Tajikistan with contributions
from Renate Winter, international expert on juvenile justice and child
rights. The text is inspired by the Ten-Point Plan for Fair and Effective
Criminal Justice for Children (developed by Penal Reform International and the Interagency Panel on Juvenile Justice).
The guide is a companion to the OneMinutesJr videos, produced by
twelve young people from different regions of Tajikistan who had been
in conflict with the law. They were willing to share their experiences
with the juvenile justice system. Their voices give us a huge source of
information to do better in the future in ensuring their full integration
in society.
We hereby thank all the young people, who have participated in this
project, for sharing their experience and feelings with us in such an
honest, creative and powerful way. The voices of children are those of
theirs and do not necessarily reflect the views of UNICEF or its partner organisations.
UNICEF would like to thank to the staff of NGO Child Rights Centre
and especially to its director Todzjidin Jalolov for the organization of
the OneMinutesJr videos workshop and to the staff of the Ombudsman Institute of Tajikistan and especially to Zarifi Alizoda, Ombudsman, for supporting the organization of the training. We also express
appreciation to Chris Schuepp and Kristina Kersa for sharing their
expertise with the young people and to empower them to bring out
their voices. We would like to thank those who have commented on
the earlier drafts of the guide, Siyma Barkin Kuzmin, Nargis Karimova,

UNICEF gratefully acknowledges the support of EU for holding the
OneMinutesJr workshop and to SDC for enabling this publication.
Any part of the video and the guide can be reproduced by educational
