The Children’s Authority of Trinidad and Tobago is encouraging the youth across the country to use the social messaging tool U-Report.
It was developed by UNICEF.
U-Report provides a valuable platform for the voice of the youth. It connects and empowers them as they speak on and exchange information about issues that matter to them.
U-Report is a free social monitoring tool for community participation, designed to address issues that young people care about.
According to UNICEF, this mobile empowerment programme connects young people all over the world to information that will change their lives and influence their decisions.
Through U-Report, youth can provide valuable information when reporting on what’s happening in their communities, and with it help improve their own lives and that of their peers and families.
Polls and alerts are sent out to U-Reporters and real-time response information is collected.
Results and ideas are shared back with the community.
The U- Report WhatsApp number is 296-7723.
The public is reminded that concerns about the care and protection of children should be reported to the Authority’s Hotline at 996 or the Police at 999.
