NAPCAN is calling all Australians this National Child Protection Week to start a fresh conversation. Conversations are powerful tools to keep children and young people safe and well.
Conversations can help to understand issues, craft solutions, value community knowledge, and build the brains and social connections of children and young people.
NAPCAN invites us all to speak up – and speak together – about what needs to change for every child in every community to have a fair go.
Use the theme to explore and talk about the many ways that conversations matter for children, young people and their families.
