Protective Behaviours Parent Workshop

"Every child in every community needs a fair go..." 

- 2024 National Child Protection Week (1-7 September) message

Equip your child with the language and principles of protective behaviours to develop their personal safety, knowledge and skills. By sharing protective behaviours with your child, you will be helping to develop lifelong skills of assertiveness, self-confidence, problem solving, communication, resilience and reaching out for help when needed.
