September 1 – 7 is National Child Protection Week and Queensland Child Protection Week, with Sunday 8 September being Safeguarding Sunday.
In 2024, the National Child Protection Week message that ‘Every child in every community needs a fair go’ will be complemented with the theme ‘Every conversation matters’.
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.
So, this National Child Protection Week, we invite you to speak up – and speak together – about what needs to change for every child in every community to have a fair go.
