Child Protection Week will be celebrated from 3 - 9 September this year with the theme, 'Protecting children is everybody's business'. As part of our 2017 Child Protection Week campaign,Children's Safety Austraila Inc. will be sending a complimentary set of our four Safe T: Protective Behaviours for Young People posters to all Queensland secondary schools.
While schools have a clear mandate to develop children and young people academically, it is argued they also share a resonsibility for promoting their health and safety.
School principals and key staff are encouraged to:
- Display the posters in a prominent position around the school;
- Highlight the key safety messages at a school assembly/parade during Child Protection Week;
- Encourage teachers to discuss the key messages with students*;
- If they recognise the value in doing so, order more Safe T posters ($10 for a set of 4, including delivery; and
- Consider training teachers and other key school staff in the Safe T program, through our sister organisation, Personal Safety Australia.
*An infosheet, 2017 Child Protection Week: Teen Safety Messages has been developed to assist teachers with this role.
