The policy has set up a mechanism to tackle false complaints or allegations of abuse. The policy states that false allegations or complaints out of personal anger or vendetta will be dealt with severely. D. Shashi Kumar, general secretary of the Associated Managements of Primary and Secondary Schools in Karnataka, calls this a “bold” position. “Over the past year, there have been several false cases reported, but parents who file false cases get away easily, but the school’s reputation is tarnished. This part of the policy can act as a deterrent,” he said.
