The ‘Children’s Safety Award’ is an award given annually to local governments nationwide for the purpose of preventing children’s safety accidents and activating safety policies. This evaluation was conducted through a multi-stage evaluation process including written evaluation, on-site inspection, online national vote, and presentation evaluation.

Major policies include ▲diagnosis of disaster crisis awareness in the children’s sector ▲free safety education for workers at children’s facilities ▲operation of a children’s safety and security experience center ▲establishment of a Dream Tree Civil Defense Corps leader.
Key policy achievements:
Diagnosis of children’s disaster crisis awareness: Diagnosed children’s disaster response capabilities and provided systematic education programs.
Safety training for workers at children’s facilities: We provide free safety training to workers at children’s facilities to prevent child safety accidents in advance.
Operation of a children’s safety and security experience center: We provided practical safety education by operating an experience center where children could learn and practice safety rules through direct experience.
Formation of the Dream Tree Civil Defense Corps: Systematic education was provided to help children develop safety awareness through civil defense training.
Goyang Special City Mayor Lee Dong-hwan said, “Children are our future, and child safety is a task that the city must prioritize,” and added, “We will continue to pursue more systematic and sustainable safety policies to create an environment where children can grow up safely.”
Goyang City plans to use this award as an opportunity to continue its leading role in child safety policy and to work harder to prevent actual safety accidents and expand safety education.
