The Higher Committee of Kanaf Centre in Sharjah, the first of its kind in the UAE and the region, held a meeting to discuss the strategies and programmes the centre has adopted since its inception. The committee evaluated the practices of experts and specialists and the outcomes achieved in the efforts to provide support, treatment, and assistance to children who are victims of physical and sexual abuse. This evaluation aimed to develop future plans and programmes to ensure the centre's mission is fulfilled to the fullest.

Hanadi Al Yafei, Director of the Child Safety Department (CSD) and Head of Kanaf's Higher Committee, emphasised that Kanaf Centre has added significant value to the emirate's institutions, which address all community needs, primarily ensuring the physical and psychological safety of children and future generations. She noted that the centre realises the emirate's vision of building a healthy, productive generation who are loyal to their country and society.

Al Yafei said: "Through our work in recent months, Kanaf has embodied the values of cooperation and partnership among various entities, each fulfilling its duty towards children's issues with professionalism, dedication, and responsibility. This cooperation reflects Kanaf's identity and our vision for its status as a home for the child, a support for the family, and a fortress for the community. We will continue our journey to develop and enhance its performance to meet our aspirations for a future where our children feel safe, nurtured, and cared for."

Ameena Al Refaei, Director of Kanaf Centre, stated that the centre's work strategy has always been based on three main pillars: ensuring privacy, prompt response, and providing various comforts for children during their stay at the centre. She pointed out that the centre's team measures its performance by tracking the condition of the children from the moment they enter until they leave. They adhere to high standards in handling cases at every stage, starting with the terms used, to the medical and psychological procedures, noting that these standards apply not only to dealing with children but also with their families and guardians.
