Altogether, 70 police officers and traffic wardens participated in the workshop and shared their knowledge and suggestions for the prevention of child sexual abuse. The workshop participants recommended the better coordination among law-enforcement agencies, vigilance, health department, and social welfare organisations along with a child protection centre for delivery of services to victims. The workshop attendees highlighted gaps between different service delivery departments and recommended a Child Protection Committee at the district levels.
