This year in Child Protection Week (1 – 7 September) we will be talking about how Every conversation matters.
We’re looking for artworks to show what children and young people think about their relationships and conversations they have with family, friends and community.
These will then be used in our campaign (leading up to September) to help show that protecting children is about all of us working together.
You know your children best, so please feel free to guide your own conversations.
Conversations are powerful tools to keep children and young people safe and well.
Conversations can help us understand issues, craft solutions, value community knowledge, and build the brains and social connections of children and young people.
Conversations between
…children and their caregivers matter (from the very earliest days)
…children and their peers matter
…families with teachers, doctors, and other professionals matter
…friends or neighbours matter
…decision-makers and the communities they serve matter.
We’d like to encourage children and young people thinking about conversations they have in all aspects of their lives – their families, their communities and what is important to them.
