National Child Protection Week

4 -10 September 2022

National Child Protection Week continues to embrace the overarching message that ‘Every child, in every community, needs a fair go’.

In particular, this year we will be shining a light on children growing up safe and supported.

Children and young people thrive when they grow up safe, connected and supported in their family, community and culture.

They have the right to grow up in environments that support them according to their needs, now and into the future.

This year we are going to be talking about how we create a supportive environment for every child.

National Child Protection Week will be looking at what works to keep children safe and supported… what children are telling us… what families are telling us… what the evidence is telling us… and how to translate this knowledge into action.

We can stop child abuse and neglect – and reduce its impact – by working together to make sure every child in every community has a fair go.

Scoresby Primary School will be supporting National Child Protection Week by engaging students in various activities during the week that reinforce the idea that that ‘Every child, in every community, needs a fair go’. On Friday 9th September, students will be asked to wear colourful clothing and accessories to promote the idea of  "A bright future for all students".
