It’s National Child Protection Week

National Child Protection Week reminds us about the important role we play in keeping children and young people safe.

This year, National Child Protection Week is from 7 to 13 September 2025. The theme is ‘Every Conversation Matters: Shifting Conversation to Action’. It highlights that while open discussions are crucial, words alone are not enough. We must turn dialogue into meaningful action.

We are proud to support the National Association for Prevention of Child Abuse and Neglect (NAPCAN) to deliver National Child Protection Week.

For over 30 years, NAPCAN has been running the annual campaign. Each builds on the strengths of previous years. It has evolved to provide support to communities to act on the core message of ‘protecting children is everyone’s business’.

Throughout National Child Protection Week, NAPCAN will be hosting a webinar series(Opens external website). You can show your support and get involved by attending one or more of these events.
