PAPERCUTSProgrammes and Channels Available to Primary School Students to Learn and Raise the Alert on Domestic Violence
- Primary schools teach personal safety and help-seeking skills through age-appropriate lessons, including identifying trusted adults and looking out for peers, with teachers trained to spot signs of abuse using established guides.
- Students can report abuse to teachers, school counsellors, or welfare officers, and principals are required to refer suspected cases to Child Protective Services for immediate intervention.
- The Ministry uses methods like journaling and art to help children express trauma non-verbally, and is open to suggestions like signalling for help to support voiceless students.
