[Suwon Ilbo=Park Chan-hyuk] Osan City held the '2025 Children Safety Heroes Member Appointment Ceremony' on the 26th at the City Hall conference room.
The Children Safety Heroes initiative was launched last July to encourage children to voluntarily participate in safety culture activities.
The program targets elementary school students in grades 4-6 and involves them in the role of 'school safety guardians,' identifying and reporting hazards around schools such as playgrounds and school commute routes.
Currently, Osan City has a total of 4 Children Safety Heroes members, including 1 appointed last year, with a two-year term.
Within children's protection zones, the members directly identify hazards around schools such as △broken crosswalk floor signal lights △damaged safety railings △uneven sidewalk blocks and report them through the safety reporting channel, while practicing safe conduct and adhering to safety rules to participate in safety culture activities.
Furthermore, Children Safety Heroes who participate in future safety reporting activities will receive volunteer hours recognition, and outstanding participants are expected to receive commendations from the Minister of the Interior and Safety.
Mayor Lee Gwon-jae stated, "The safety reporting activities of the Children Safety Heroes will be a cornerstone in protecting oneself, friends, and family, and ultimately creating a safer Osan City through small actions," and added, "I hope more children will participate in the Children Safety Heroes activities and contribute to spreading a safety culture around schools."
