‘Uber for teens’ launches in New Zealand, 14-17year old riders can use if parents let them.
Safeguarding Children worked with Uber to develop a Child Protection Policy and an introductory education module for drivers on recognising and responding to signs of child abuse and promoting safe interactions with minors.
“The introduction of Uber for teens provided an opportunity to reinforce this collective duty we all hold to keep children and young people safe,” said Willow Duffy, chief executive at Safeguarding Children.
