The Child Safety Campaign (CSC) has initiated its third phase under the theme 'Child Safety in Cyberspace'.
The campaign targets children, parents, school teachers, educators and experts, with the aim of highlighting the vital role played by community organisations to spread the campaign's message to protect children from social media hazards.
The third phase, which was launched during a Press conference, is focusing on cyber security for children, given the fast-growing number of potentially dangerous websites and the increasing number of children with access to them.
The campaign receives great support from Sheikha Jawaher bint Mohammed Al Qasimi, wife of His Highness the Ruler of Sharjah and Chairperson of the Supreme Council for Family Affairs, who sent a message on the occasion:
In the message, Sheikha Jawaher said: "Our shared human experience has taught us that the future is determined by the present. In order to create a bright future for us all, we must therefore enhance our commitment to the here and now.
"Since its inception, the Child Safety Campaign has sought to build a better future by establishing the foundations of a knowledge-based society and by creating an environment where children can thrive. This initiative was conceived in recognition that today's younger generation is the nation's leadership tomorrow and comprises the citizens who will be taking our society forward.
"The physical, intellectual and psychological protection of our children is not only the responsibility of parents, but also the duty of all social, cultural and educational organisations in our country. By ensuring a safe and nurturing environment for our children today, we will reap the rewards through enhanced knowledge, leadership and progress tomorrow."
Hanadi Saleh Al Yafei, head of the Organising Committee of the Child Safety Campaign, and Department Director at the Supreme Council for Family Affairs, said that the campaign tried to identify the fine line between encouraging children's passion for exploring the wonders of the Internet and the role that parents must adopt as guardians of its content.
Brigadier Saif Al Zari Al Shamsi, Commander-in-Chief of the Sharjah Police, said: "The Sharjah Police Headquarters has always been keen to participate in the Child Safety Campaign's activities since its inception - its role integrates with Sharjah Community Police, which plays a fundamental role in raising awareness about children's safety on the Internet."
Helping kids stay safe
As part of the campaign, the Telecommunications Regulatory Authority (TRA) will organise educational workshops for children at summer camps and schools.
The authority will play a part in events lined up throughout the year which will include workshops for local department employees and lectures for parents across the emirate.
It will work with other partners to help protect children from any dangers that may face them while using smart devices and online sites.
