In 2023, the National Child Protection Authority (NCPA), in collaboration with the University Grants Commission (UGC), introduced the University Student Ambassador National Programme on Child Protection. This programme was launched as a sustainable volunteer initiative aimed at strengthening child protection in Sri Lanka, with registration opened to undergraduates from 17 state universities across the country.

Under this programme, opportunities are provided for university students to coordinate with schools within the respective District and Divisional Secretariat divisions to implement the School Student Ambassador National Programme on Child Protection. Furthermore, through the Special Volunteer Service, student ambassadors are given opportunities to participate in exhibitions, mobile services and events organized by the National Child Protection Authority to commemorate special days and occasions, working in coordination with the Authority.

Representing the student groups engaged in voluntary services in collaboration with the National Child Protection Authority, a visually impaired University Student Ambassador, Mr. Semal Kannangara of the University of Colombo, together with other Student Ambassadors from the University of Colombo, Gampaha Wickramarachchi University of Indigenous Medicine and the University of Kelaniya, contributed to a significant initiative undertaken under the leadership of the Media and Information Unit of the National Child Protection Authority.

Through this initiative, the National Child Protection Authority Act No. 50 of 1998 and the National Policy on Child Protection were prepared in Braille for the first time in Sri Lanka. This initiative is expected to provide visually impaired children with basic knowledge and awareness of the National Child Protection Authority and the National Policy formulated for their protection and well-being.

The Braille editions were officially launched for the first time on 29 September 2026 at the First National Conference of Student Ambassadors on Child Protection. On this occasion, the Chairperson of the National Child Protection Authority, Retired High Court Judge Mrs. Preethi Inoka Ranasinghe, formally presented the Braille publications to Member of Parliament Mr. Sugath Wasantha de Silva.
