Lugo municipal child welfare and safety initiatives

Overview

The Lugo City Council has initiated several programs focused on child welfare and public safety. Initially, Mayor Elena Candia met with representatives from the Galician Platform of Early Childhood Schools to discuss joining the international Friend Cities of Childhood network, which aims to promote the protection and well-being of children.

Following these discussions, the municipal government expanded its family-oriented agenda by launching the ‘Aprende Xogando’ program, a 350,000 euro initiative designed to improve care ratios for children, including those with special educational needs. The city is also seeking to establish an Early Attention Unit.

In tandem with child services, the administration has prioritized public safety. Measures include recruiting more personnel for the Local Police and Fire Department, awarding contracts for fire protection equipment maintenance, and tendering for a mobile video surveillance control center to enhance security during the San Froilán festivities.
