Head- CHILDLINE Contact Centre

Profile

In 1996, CHILDLINE India Foundation (CIF) launched CHILDLINE, the country’s first toll-free helpline for street children in distress. CIF is the nodal agency of the Union Ministry of Women and Child Development. It is the parent organization for setting up, managing and monitoring the CHILDLINE 1098 service all over the country.

CHILDLINE 1098 service is a 24-hour free emergency phone outreach service for children in need of care and protection. CIF undertakes replication of CHILDLINE. It also takes care of networking and facilitation, training, research, documentation, communications and strategic initiatives at the national and international level.

Scope

CIF was looking for a robust solution to empower its CHILDLINE Contact Centre (CCC) teams. These contact centers are spread across India and aim to provide timely help to the children in need of care and protection . CIF wanted to effectively handle enormous volume of incoming calls to 1098. Prior to CCC, collating information, drawing out reports to provide visibility to the management at the micro and macro level was time consuming.
