It’s National Child Protection Week!!

NAPCAN encourages you to get involved in the week and spread the messages that:

  • we all have a role to play in protecting children from harm, and
  • by building stronger communities, we can create safer environments for children.

A number of resources have been launched throughout the week and we encourage you to share them with your family, friends, colleagues and on social media.
