Abstract

The study examines the awareness level among private and government school teachers in Delhi NCR. Child sexual abuse is a growing issue with a few restraints. This paper sheds light on the crucial role of teachers in being the frontline warriors in the prevention of child sexual abuse. Thus, assessing the awareness level on the prevention of CSA was the most important factor of the study. The data was collected with the help of a questionnaire and a 5-point Likert rating scale. The included parameters in the study were the teachers' ability to recognise CSA signs, the vulnerable group, and mandatory legal programmes. Findings indicate that the government school teachers show a significantly higher level of CSA awareness as compared to private school teachers in terms of CSA and its signs. Government school teachers have received training from the government-directed training programs wheres private school teachers lacked such programmes to increase their awareness level.
