Get Involved - Looking For Event Ideas?

National Child Protection Week 3 - 9 September 2023

Get Involved > Looking for event ideas?

The value of events: 

There are many different types of National Child Protection Week events and they all help children and families in different ways, including by:

  • Promoting the week and its key messages.
  • Sharing information so everyone knows how to play their part in protecting children.
  • Taking time out to connect, listen to, and value children.
  • Learning more about the services and supports that are available.
  • Providing social opportunities for families and communities. This builds the informal social supports that are good for children and families.
  • Connecting with others to share information and build partnerships.
  • Promoting the needs of children and how we can all make a difference in the lives of children.
  • Advocating for the supports and services that families need.

 

Ideas and tips: 

  • Events can be big or small (anything from a morning tea with neighbours, to a family fun day can be a great National Child Protection Week event).
  • Events can be for children, for families, for staff, or for anyone in the community. Protecting children is everyone’s business, and we want everyone to play a part.
  • Use our events calendar, social media resources, posters, and newsletter articles to promote your event.
  • Consider asking your local media along to your event to do a story.
  • Our children’s activities are a great start for engaging children, and can then be used for an art display.
