Shifting conversations to action: Reimagining child protection in Australia
Every National Child Protection Week, Australians are asked to pause and reflect on what it truly means to keep children safe. Too often, the notion of ‘child protection’ is spoken about as if it begins and ends with statutory services. Keeping children safe is far broader than that, it is everyone’s business. It is shaped by the choices we make every day as families, communities, workplaces, services, and governments. It is about whether we value children not only as the promise of our future, but as full human beings whose safety, wellbeing, and voices matter right now in this very moment.
