SHARJAH, 22nd October, 2018 (WAM) -- H.H. Sheikha Jawaher bint Mohammed Al Qasimi, wife of the Ruler of Sharjah and Chairperson of the Supreme Council for Family Affairs, has issued an administrative decision to establish the ‘Child Safety Department'.
The decision will transform the existing ‘Child Safety Campaign' - an initiative of the Supreme Council for Family Affairs, SCFA, in Sharjah - into a ‘Department' under the SCFA, with the aim of raising awareness on child safety and protection, ensuring family stability and security, and also focusing on children's physical and psychological well-being.
The decision also appoints Hanadi Saleh Al Yafei as Director of the Department.
Building on the successes of the campaign's programmes, the move reflects its institutional development, where the newly established department will operate within a highly integrated framework of cooperation with government and private entities, aimed at building up a culture of child safety and protection in the emirate and the UAE.
The decision reflects the keenness of Her Highness Sheikha Jawaher to protect and empower children, ensure family and psychological stability, harness their capabilities, and engage them in becoming the future leaders of the UAE.
The decision will help expand the department's scope of work, and increase the level of support allocated to it, ultimately resulting in a positive effect on the development and implementation of its programmes.
