“The schools/institutions should follow all the necessary safety measures given by the authorities from time to time. Also, the criteria for using a particular app for children should also be adhered to,” the NCPCR said in the advisory.
The NCPCR also said that the participation of children in virtual classrooms should be under parental supervision.

“For this, the schools/institutions should provide proper orientation to parents,” it said.

The login IDs should not be made in name of the students and the students should only be attending the online classes/interaction as a guest and the entire control of the virtual classroom should be with the teacher only so that to prevent them falling into prey of cyber bullying/abuse, the NCPCR said.
The NCPCR also warned that neglecting the safety and security of children in any manner shall attract strict action against the school/institution under section 75 of the Juvenile Justice Act, 2015 and other relevant sections of the existing laws.
