H.E. Hanadi Saleh Al Yafei, Director General of the Child Safety Organisation, said: “Child safety is a shared responsibility that begins within the family and extends across the wider community. It is not limited to specific situations, but spans everyday environments that may appear safe yet present unforeseen risks—particularly during changing weather conditions or when temporary water accumulations and unregulated play areas emerge, as recent incidents have underscored the importance of prevention and vigilance.” She added: “Children are naturally curious and inclined to explore and play, making attentive supervision essential, alongside ongoing awareness of their whereabouts. It is equally important to provide safe environments that support their development without restricting their freedom to learn, while equipping them to recognise potential risks across different settings, whether in residential neighbourhoods or open spaces.” She emphasised: “At the Child Safety Organisation, we remain a committed partner to families, working hand in hand to raise awareness, provide guidance, and foster a culture of prevention that safeguards children and ensures they grow in a safe and secure environment.” |
