ABSTRACT
Vipin Bhatt has penned down his passionately driven professional journey on child rights as a social worker, and shared the professional understanding that has been inculcated via insightful social work education and fieldwork training. His social work education helped him to generate resonance in his passion to work with a holistic understanding. It is while working on child rights and in order to work more clarity on the legal issues he obtained a law degree. He worked with NGOs such as Butterflies and Haq: Centre for Child Rights and SAARC Apex Bodies, namely, South Asia Initiative to End Violence Against Children and South Asian Association for Regional Co-operation in Law. He conducted training programmes for the police and the judiciary. He suggests that social work education can take benefit from creating a space for constant dialogues and exchange of ideas with not only social work practitioners, legal activists, social activists, and other people who are active in this field, but also from the police department, mental health professionals, medical professionals, practicing lawyers, judges, etc., to give a wider understanding of the issues to the students.
