Keeping our Kids Safe Stakeholder Kit & Promotion of National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Children’s Day 

The National Office for Child Safety has developed a stakeholder kit that brings together:

• Keeping our Kids Safe resources;
• a series of suggested social media posts; and
• a FAQ section to share with their stakeholders. 

The stakeholder kit includes a post for the National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Children’s Day on Friday 4 August you are invited to promote this post via your social media channels to show support for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children. 

This stakeholder kit adds to the suite of resources available on The National Office for Child Safety website, which support organisations, parents and carers to keep kids safe. The kit will be available as a permanent resource on the National Office for Child Safety website. If you have any questions relating to the kit or other resources please email This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.

 See the signs of coercive control

From 17 July, the South Australian government is running an eight-week campaign on coercive control. It is timed to coincide with the five Adelaide-hosted FIFA Women’s World Cup matches scheduled for late July and early August. 

The campaign targets 15 to 24-year-olds, with videos, audio and more, and feature both male and female perspectives on the ‘red flags’ to look out for as signs of an abusive relationship. It will be complemented by educational workshops for sports clubs as part of a larger push to raise awareness about coercive control, ahead of moves to criminalise this form of abuse in South Australia.

Grafton Presenter Training

Last Saturday, 29 July, saw another group of incredible church leaders trained to deliver our ecumenical Safe Church Awareness Workshops for Northern NSW. All the trainees were engaged throughout the day, contributing their own knowledge and experience, and actively working together in planning for the future.  

Thank you to the Anglican Diocese of Grafton for arranging and hosting the Presenter Training Day, to Rev Zoe Everingham and Stephen Hall for co-facilitating and sharing their wisdom as experienced presenters, and to each of the participants who are passionate about providing this training as part of building church communities where all people – and especially children and vulnerable people – can be safe.
