The initiative spans from prenatal care to young adulthood (up to 21 years of age), providing support throughout
childhood, schooling and into adolescence.

It includes key areas such as healthcare, education, mental health and career readiness for young people. Parents

will also receive support through specialised training programmes to create nurturing environments for their children.

The framework includes the Dubai Child Protection Protocol for social case management and initiatives to train
professionals working in child welfare.

Additionally, it supports the digital integration of child protection services for greater accessibility. Legislative reforms
are underway to enhance governance and compliance with national child welfare standards.

With a focus on coordination, education and community involvement, the Dubai Child Protection Framework is set to
strengthen child protection efforts across the city, ensuring every child has the opportunity to thrive.

Its implementation is driven by close collaboration among key government entities, including the Community
Development Authority, Knowledge and Human Development Authority, Dubai Police, Dubai Public Prosecution,
Dubai Courts, Supreme Legislation Committee, Dubai Health Authority, Dubai Corporation for Ambulance Services,

Erada Centre, Dubai Foundation for Women and Children, General Directorate for Identity and Foreigners Affairs,
Digital Dubai Authority, and Dubai Sports Council.

Beyond government agencies, the framework engages a broad network of professionals and service providers,
including educators, healthcare professionals, social workers, non-profit organisations, volunteers, and centres

supporting children of determination.
