ADDRESSING THE CHALLENGES IN THE SAA-CCI LINKAGE

 The linking of SAA-CCI is done by District Child Protection Unit

 DCPU registers all Child Care Institutions both registered and
unregisterted within their district on CARINGS.
  DCPU identifies adoptable children in the CCI under its jurisdiction.

The trainee after intense research and after calling various SAA’s, CCI’S and
DCPU came to the conclusion that in the current scenario there are negligible
issues in the SAA-CCI linkages due to the introduction of streamlining.
But still there are a few issues that needs to be resolved in order to facilitate
smooth linkage of Specialised Adoption Agencies and Child Care Institutions.
These issues are mentioned as below :-
 Technical Issues : Most of the problems in the linkage are caused due to
the technical issues. Some of the DCPU’s lack proper resources in
technology which causes major hindrance in the linking process.

 Lack of proper monitoring : Another major issue in the process of linkage

is lack of proper monitoring by the DCPU. District Child Protection Unit
many a times does not monitor the SAA-CCI properly and often delays
the process of data verification which is a major challenge in the SAA-
CCI linkage process.

 Less qualified staff : Lack of qualified staff is one of the major challenge
in the process of linking SAA-CCI together. Less educated staff messes
things up causing a delay in the linkage process.

 Lack of proper councelling : Lack of proper guidance and councelling is

lacking in various SAA’s and CCI’s as a result they are unable to give the
required facts and figures to DCPU which is again a major challenge in
the linking SAA and CCI.

 Improper Administration : It is also seen that due to the reckless

behavior and lack of interest of administration in the DCPU also leads to
issues in linking SAA and CCI’s.

 Sometimes both the Social workers from SAA and CCI have different
point of views and different opinions. Hence causing delay in linkage
process.

 Many a times Child Study Report (CSR) and Medical Examination Report
(MER) of CCI children are not prepared by the institutions, which causes
delay in updating data and causing delay in the linkage process.

 It is also seen that many a times the Child Care Institution doesn’t want
to get them registered by their own will and wish due to lack of resources
and infrastructural facilities, causing a major problem in linkage of SAA
and CCI.
