This week, we join together for Child Protection Week, a time to focus on the vital role we all play in keeping children safe.
Every child deserves to grow up in an environment that’s nurturing, supportive, and free from harm. As educators, parents, and community members, it’s our responsibility to ensure that every child has the protection and care they need to thrive.
Child Protection Week reminds us of the importance of being vigilant, informed, and proactive in recognising the signs of abuse and neglect. It’s a call to action to create safer spaces, both physically and emotionally, for every child in our care.
For educators, this week is an opportunity to deepen your understanding of the critical role you play in child protection. We’ve put together a resource guide filled with valuable information and practical strategies to help you identify risks and take action when necessary.
This information sheet was prepared by our experienced early childhood trainers at Kath Dickson Institute. If you have any further questions after reading this guide, please do not hesitate to contact our Kath Dickson Institute Trainers on 1300 336 345 or speak with your Service Director.
Together, let’s build a community where every child feels safe, valued, and loved. 💙
