The Use of Snakes and Ladders Educational Media In Empowering Integrated Child Protection Groups In Handling Cases

Abstract

Candirpari Village is an advanced village in terms of government and human resource development. The town declares itself as a tourist village which aims to increase welfare for the community and is safe for children. Many children's cases involve domestic violence and special crimes such as narcotics and sexual violence. The village tries to resolve the case at the village level and then refer it to the authorities. The Community-Based Integrated Child Protection Group has problems in strengthening the capacity to handle child cases at the village and referral levels. The service carried out from August to November 2024 is carried out with training using adult education methods. The educational media used is snakes and ladders for protection and handling of children's cases. This educational teaching aid makes it easier to explain the process in child cases, and the use of restorative justice including the role and function of PATBM cadres and the Candipari village authorities. The use of APE snakes and ladders positions all participants as active and involved by thinking about the statements on the cards used to mark ladders and snakes. The service activity ran smoothly because the participants were in a position to directly handle cases that were solved by pawns facing snakes or ladders.
