Last night we celebrated at the Child Protection Week dinner and awards, it was such a wonderful night with young people's safety, and voices, at the forefront.
Mighty Mitts Boxing were very deserving award winners and the young people, who participated in the My Voice Matters workshop, shared their messages in a powerful culmination of speeches 🙌
Great work once again Bundaberg Child Protection Week Action Group

Child protection is everybody’s business. 💛
From 7–13 September, Queensland Child Protection Week will host more than 200 events across the state, bringing parents, carers, educators and communities together to focus on protecting children.
These events provide practical tools, opportunities to connect, and ways to create safer environments where children feel valued and heard.
In Bundaberg we have a range of activities, take a look at our calendar.
Yesterday some of our staff members attended the Building Protective Communities: Mobilising Local Networks in Understanding and Preventing Child Sexual Abuse, which provided practical information in recognising the signs of child sexual abuse, how to respond appropriately, and how we can work together in creating safer environments for children at home, in schools and across our community.
We're also really excited for Rainbow Day and the Awards Dinner later this week. Will we see you there?
By standing together, we can build stronger families, safer communities and brighter futures for every child in Queensland.
