The MCSPA members in Turkana organized a 2-day workshop for teachers working in MCSPA-run and sponsored schools focused on matters of safeguarding. The workshop dealt with corporal punishment and alternative disciplining mechanisms, and how to create a child-friendly environment in schools and also child-growth and development.

Teachers and child care agents came from the 4 missions of Nariokotome, Kokuselei, Lobur and Todonyang. The facilitator of the workshop was Prof. George Muthaa, Deputy Principal Academics and Finance at Turkana University College. It was a colourful day and the participants were generally happy with the input and content of the workshop.

At the end of the workshop, the participants were issued with certificates and safeguarding commitment forms.

We hope that this event will mark the beginning of a renewed commitment by teachers in our schools to embrace the safeguarding policies that MCSPA upholds.
