The District Child Protection Unit (DCPU), Tiruppur has invited applications for 20 Support Person posts. These people stand beside children affected by sexual offences while a POCSO case moves through investigation and court.

Please read one point first. The payment is an honorarium per case, not a monthly salary. The last date to submit your application is 27 October 2026, and you must send it offline, in person or by post. This guide covers vacancies, eligibility, age, pay, dates, the form and the address, so read it fully before you apply. Stay with GovtJobsAlert.in for every update.

The notification is a press release. It is issued under Tamil Nadu Government Order (Ms) No. 23 dated 12 August 2026 of the Social Welfare and Women Empowerment Department, together with the POCSO Act 2012 and the POCSO Rules 2020. The notification gives no advertisement number and no notification date.
How Many Support Person Vacancies Are There in DCPU Tiruppur 2026?
| Post | Vacancies | Reservation |
|---|---|---|
| Support Persons | 20 | Not stated in the notification |
There is only one post, so the total of 20 vacancies is the whole picture. The notification gives no category-wise split, so do not rely on any seat table you may see elsewhere.
What is the Eligibility for DCPU Tiruppur Support Person 2026?
The notification allows two routes. Read both before deciding that you are not eligible.
| Route | Requirement |
|---|---|
| Route 1 | Post-graduate (Master’s) degree in a field related to child welfare, health or education |
| Route 2 | Graduate with at least 3 years of experience in child education, development, health or protection work |
For Route 1, the notification names Social Work, Sociology, Law, Psychology and Child Development as the particular fields. It also accepts other suitable fields related to child welfare. If your Master’s is in a related field that is not on this list, read the original notification and decide whether it fits. The more post-graduate government jobs you track, the easier it gets to judge such matches.
For Route 2, the experience must be in work related to child education, development, health or protection. A graduate without that 3 years of experience does not fit this route.
The notification also says that eligible organisations working in child protection may apply, along with individuals. If you run or work for such an organisation, keep this in mind.
Age Limit
| Category | Age Limit |
|---|---|
| All applicants | Minimum 25 years; no maximum age is stated |

The notification gives no age relaxation for any category and gives no date on which the age is counted. Because the notification does not name a date, check your age against the last date, 27 October 2026, to be safe.
What is the Honorarium for DCPU Tiruppur Support Person 2026?
| Component | Amount |
|---|---|
| Maximum per case | ₹10,000 |
| Instalments | 4 instalments of ₹2,500 each |
| Travel expenses | Included in the ₹2,500 instalments |
The notification says the honorarium is paid only for cases assigned to you and for the work done on those cases. When no cases are assigned to a Support Person, no honorarium is paid for that period.
Think of this as case-based engagement and not a fixed monthly income. Your earnings depend on how many cases the district assigns to you. Plan your finances with that in mind, especially if you are leaving another job to take this up.
What is the Selection Process for DCPU Tiruppur Support Person 2026?
The notification does not describe a selection process. It does not mention a written test, an interview or a merit list, and it does not say how the 20 persons will be chosen. It only says that qualified and interested individuals and eligible organisations may apply and that Support Persons will be selected for the district.
Keep your application complete and neat, and watch the district’s official website for any later notice about the next step.
