This year National Child Protection Week will continue to champion the message ‘Every child in every community needs a fair go’.
This message captures the essence of National Child Protection Week which aims to promote a safe and supported life for every child, now and into the future.
Many of our supporters may choose to continue to focus on this overarching message.
However, many of our partners tell us that they value having a fresh annual theme to focus their local conversations each year.
In 2023, the message that ‘Every child in every community needs a fair go’ will be complemented with the theme ‘Where we start matters’.
Find out more about the theme and the Community Jigsaw image (based on research by Dr Sharon Bessell, Crawford School of Public Policy, ANU).
This year, NAPCAN and expert partners are calling on the Commonwealth Government to host a National Summit to Prevent Child Maltreatment. Join us in supporting this call – read more here, and share on social channels with these tiles.
