Child Protection Week

In 2025, the National Child Protection Week message is ‘Shifting Conversation to Action’.


This year’s theme highlights that while open discussions are crucial, words alone are not enough: we must turn dialogue into meaningful action.


How are you moving beyond conversations to concrete actions that prevent harm, strengthen support systems, and empower communities to actively protect children?
