[Asia Economy Reporter Jongil Park] Dongjak-gu (Mayor Changwoo Lee) will enhance child safety by installing CCTV in six newly established Our Neighborhood Care Centers by the end of this month.

The district started operating the Our Neighborhood Care Center in Noryangjin 2-dong last year, expanded to Sindaebang 1-dong and Sadang 5-dong, and was finally selected as a "Our Neighborhood Care Center Intensive Support District" in the Seoul city public contest last March. With a budget of 6.296 billion KRW, it plans to expand to 10 centers by next year.

This project was prepared to create an environment where parents can entrust their children with peace of mind by preventing safety issues at children's facilities and child abuse.

The district plans to install 36 CCTVs in six Our Neighborhood Care Centers?Noryangjin 1-dong, Sangdo 1-dong, Sadang 2-dong, Sadang 3-dong, Daebang-dong, and Sangdo 4-dong (Shin Sangdo)?where remodeling construction began last month.

The CCTV, equipped with high-definition cameras of over 2 million pixels, will be installed in common playrooms, playgrounds, and dining areas to monitor safety accidents and signs of abuse during children's play activities.

To securely manage video information, including access record storage and tamper prevention measures, the center director of each Our Neighborhood Care Center is designated as the CCTV management officer. If a guardian requests to view information due to a child's safety accident or abuse, the decision can be made in consultation with the center director.

Additionally, the district is recruiting child welfare teachers dispatched to local children's centers for 2021 until the 11th of this month.

The recruitment includes a total of 25 positions: 20 full-time and 5 part-time, covering areas such as basic learning for elementary and middle school students, foreign language instruction in English and Chinese, reading guidance, and arts and physical education instruction.

Residents wishing to apply should bring an application form and program guidance plan to the Dongjak-gu Office's Child and Youth Division for in-person submission.

The district will conduct a comprehensive evaluation based on qualifications in related fields, appropriateness of the guidance plan, and experience to select the final child welfare teachers.

Jooil Park, head of the Child and Youth Division, said, “Through this project, we will establish a community care system where children are safe and parents can feel at ease. We will continue to do our best to make Dongjak a great place to raise children through customized welfare policies for each life cycle.”

Furthermore, by the end of this month, the district will conduct a full survey of 331 local resident children aged 3 (born in 2016) who are being raised at home excluding those attending kindergartens or daycare centers, to protect children's human rights. The survey will cover physical injuries, hygiene status, guardians’ wishes for welfare and social service connections, and other caregiving environments.
