The Zayed Higher Organisation for People of Determination (ZHO) has launched official channels for reporting cases of suspected abuse that people of determination — particularly children — may face.
The ZHO announced the community initiative in Abu Dhabi on Emirati Children's Day. Now, people can send reports of abuse via e-mail (pod.cp@zho.gov.ae), by dialling a hotline, or sending a WhatsApp message to 0542003366.
Additionally, there's a dedicated window for employees of the organisation through its internal website regarding people of determination affiliated with the institution. The goal is to ensure the provision of a conducive environment for the healthy and sustainable development of children.

The service includes preventive measures to provide a safe environment free from all forms of physical, psychological, and sexual abuse, exploitation, and discrimination. This is achieved by activating channels for reporting suspected cases of abuse, monitoring and providing protection, and enhancing the necessary capacities to deal with cases of child abuse from people of determination in coordination with other relevant entities within the framework of shared social responsibility.
As part of its steps to implement the initiative, ZHO has trained 23 of its specialised staff to obtain the status of judicial officers specialising in child protection within the institution. A new job title, Child Protection Specialist, has been introduced and designated for this purpose.
