NATIONAL CHILD PROTECTION WEEK
National Child Protection Week took place from Sunday 1 to Saturday 7 September 2024. As part of this national focus on child safety, we implemented age appropriate lessons focused on consent. The central theme is, "We are the Boss of our own Body". You can view resources from the Daniel Morcombe Foundation website.
Consent (general definition)
Getting permission to do something. This is important in many types of everyday situations. For example, you should ask for someone’s permission before borrowing something or before posting a photo of them on social media. Legally, consent means free and voluntary agreement. A person does not freely agree if they are pressured or threatened, or if they are asleep or unconscious (Youth Law Australia).
FAMILY TECHNOLOGY AGREEMENTS
A Family Technology Agreement outlines the ways a family can work together to develop and maintain a healthy, balanced and safe relationship with technology. The term technology refers to all screens and internet capable devices in the house (including laptops, desktops, iPads, smart tablets, iPhone, smart phones and gaming consoles). Some families may opt to include TV in this agreement.
Please refer to these links from the Daniel Morcombe Foundation for resources to help you as a family to make your own Technology Agreement.
ABOUT REAL LIFE
About Real Life provides positive, relevant & realistic sex education for youth and informative presentations for parents & carers. Prepare for the important conversations you need to have with your children.
