Targeted Area – BULDANA DISTRICT
CHILDLINE 1098 is a phone number that spells hope for millions of children across India. It is a 24-hour a day, 365 days a year, free, emergency phone service for children in need of aid and assistance. We not only respond to the emergency needs of children but also link them to relevant services for their long-term care and rehabilitation.
At CHILDLINE, we follow an action process which starts at the first call and continues till the child in need of care and protection is safely rehabilitated. To put it simply, our work includes several stages which are:
1. Call 1098 – child or a concerned adult can dial the CHILDLINE 1098 helpline, which operates night and day.
2. Connected to CHILDLINE Centre – The call is received by the CHILDLINE Centre where details about the situation are taken from the caller and CHILDLINE units are mobilized if necessary.
3. Rescue in 60 minutes – Once CHILDLINE has enough details about child or children in distress, the CHILDLINE team rushes to help children within 60 minutes to bring children out of an emergency situation.
4. Intervention – Once CHILDLINE intervenes help the child, it works with multiple stakeholders such as police authorities, child protection boards, social workers and counsellors. Children’s consent and participation is an important component of this process from response to intervention.
5. Rehabilitation and Follow Up – the interventions, to ensure the child’s continued safety, CHILDLINE proceeds to find long-term rehabilitation for the child. For this, the CHILDLINE team does constant follow ups with the child – meeting the family or the visiting the shelter if a child has been assigned to stay in one.
Our Vision
A child-friendly District that guarantees the rights and protection of all children.
Our Mission
CHILDLINE aims to reach out to every child in need and ensure their rights and protection. Our four Cs model – Connect, Catalyze, Collaborate and Communicate – is the system that enables us to reach out to more and more children, every year.
Connect: Use technology to reach out to children.
Catalyze: Drive systems through active advocacy.
Collaborate: efforts between children, the state, civil society, corporates and community to build a child-friendly society.
Communicate: child protection everybody’s priority through effective communication.
We believe that:
Every Call Is Important
Although not every call at CHILDLINE is an emergency, but any call by a child or an adult is important and is taken seriously. Sometimes, street children who are especially cynical about helpline services make prank calls or get abusive. But it is also their way of testing us to see if they are taken seriously. We take these calls as an opportunity to convert the child’s cynicism in to faith in us. Treating blank calls seriously can turn the child into a potential caller in times of crisis. Sometimes adults call us for information. We take these calls as an opportunity to get these adults more involved in helping children.
Involving Children
The work of helping a child becomes meaningless if a child’s needs and opinions are ignored. We involve the child in the intervention process by asking him/her to identify the problem and help them formulate a solution. We never force a decision on them without their consent. We make sure that the child knows exactly what CHILDLINE can and cannot offer.
CHILDLINE Cannot Work Alone
A collaborative approach is needed due to the massive scale of efforts required to make issues relating to child rights important. So instead of creating a structure from the very beginning, we use the facilities already existing in the community. We try to involve all those already caring for children. We work with allied systems such as NGOs, the police, health authorities, educational institutes, hospitals and the Juvenile Justice Boards.
