Child Protection week in Queensland is held September 1st to September 7th. This important week aims to bring attention to issues related to child protection, child abuse prevention, education, and support for children, young people and families. Https://childprotectionweek.org.au/

On Thursday September 5th President Colleen Hunt and Vice President Susan Shaw visited Warwick West School to donate a set of 12 books. Authored by Jayneen Sanders the “Big Little Chats” series covers various topics related to discussing tough subjects with Primary-aged children, such as consent, feelings, equality, and empathy. The books also include exercises for parents and teachers to engage children in thinking about these important issues.

Over the next few months, these book sets will be distributed to all Primary Schools in the Warwick area.
