The Action Plan for the implementation of the, “Strategy for the Comprehensive Safety of Children in the Russian Federation,” for the period leading up to 2030, was approved on May 17, 2023.

Russian President Vladimir Putin signed a Decree approving the “Strategy for the Comprehensive Safety of Children in the Russian Federation,” for the period leading to 2030.” In pursuance of the act, the government of the Russian Federation adopted a decree approving the action plan for the implementation of the strategy.

Russia already has a number of documents and programs aimed at ensuring the safety of children: “This is the Decade of Childhood,” “The Concept of Information Security for Children,” and, “The Road Safety Strategy.“ Now a single, comprehensive document has emerged that defines the goals, main directions, and tasks and mechanisms for implementing state policy to ensure the safety of children.

Preserving the health of children, protecting their interests, as well as harmonious education based on traditional values are the main priorities of the plan for implementing, “The Strategy for Comprehensive Safety of Children until 2030.”

Cultural institutions and libraries need to focus on educational and information activities within the framework of the strategy and action plan aimed at supporting and promoting a healthy lifestyle among children and families with children, as well as promoting a culture of family health as a basic value.

Particular attention should be paid to the development of children's knowledge and skills regarding digital literacy and measures to protect children from information threats and risks in the modern digital environment. It is necessary to devote enough time to popularizing anti-terrorist safety rules, as well as familiarizing yourself with the procedure for saving your life and health in the event of an emergency, teaching children the basics of safe behavior on roads, on water bodies and fire safety.
