Hifazat, a free family safety tool by Qawex
Child safety for parents
Child safety starts with simple habits: teach your child your phone number, agree on a meeting place, and use a safety tag that lets a helper reach you fast. Hifazat, a free family safety tool by Qawex, gives you a QR tag that never shows your child's name or address.
Key takeaways
- Teach your child 1 phone number and 1 safe adult to ask for help.
- Pick a meeting place in every crowded place you visit.
- Use a tag with no name, school or address on it.
What are the biggest everyday risks for children?
Busy places, unfamiliar routes and everyday home hazards deserve a simple family plan. Choose habits that fit your child’s age and keep adult supervision central.
How do I teach my child to ask for help?
Practise a short sentence together: I need help finding my family. Agree on a safe adult, such as a staff member, and practise staying in a visible place.
What should my child carry?
A discreet safety tag can help someone contact you. Keep the tag free of names, school details and addresses. Check that the family contact is current.
How can a QR tag help?
A helper scans the tag and uses the contact buttons. The public page does not show your child’s private name or address. A tag supports your plan, not supervision.
What should I do if my child is missing?
Stay calm, tell nearby staff and security, and share relevant details privately with them. Call the local police number if needed. Use a verified police number for your location.

Questions families ask
No. Keep a child’s name, school and home address off the visible tag and its public scan page. The tag is intended to give a helper a way to contact family, not to identify the child publicly. Review the contact details and any optional note before using the tag.
Choose a visible place that is easy for your child to describe, then point it out together when you arrive. Include the meeting place in your family plan and practise what to do if you become separated. Keep the plan suitable for the particular venue and your child’s needs.
No. A tag is an additional way for a helper to reach family through its contact buttons. It does not watch a child, guarantee that someone will respond, or replace adult supervision. Keep using the agreed family plan, including suitable supervision and current contact details.
Yes. You can pause or delete the tag in your family space. A paused or deleted tag may no longer provide an active route to family through its scan page, so check the status before relying on a printed or shared QR code. Update any materials if its link changes.
