NAPCAN would like to wish you a happy and safe festive season.

We thank you for your contribution throughout the year as we work together to empower communities to value and support children to live free from violence, abuse and neglect.

Over the holiday season we encourage you to reach out and connect with the children and young people in your community. Holidays can be a stressful time so check in with families and offer to lend a hand or an ear to those in your network or neighbourhood.

Be someone who listens to children because communities matter.

Thank you for playing your part in 2014, we look forward to sharing our work with you in 2015. Our offices will re-open on 5 January 2015.

Warm regards

The NAPCAN Team
