What Children Tell Us:
Listening, Trusting and Taking Action
In partnership with Anglicare.

This webinar takes a deep dive into what’s possible when children are not only heard but genuinely included in shaping the environments around them.

Join us for a compelling session that brings together powerful voices from across Australia – including children themselves, to share how schools, services, and communities are creating spaces where trust, safety, and collaboration thrive. You’ll hear powerful insights from the Safer Communities for Children (SCFC) program and trainers working in multicultural, First Nations, and rural settings, perspectives too often left out of mainstream conversations.

We’ll dive into how child-led approaches are driving tangible change, from classroom strategies to community-wide action, and what it takes to embed these principles into practice.

This webinar offers real stories, practical tools, and fresh thinking for anyone working to center children in their work.

Walk away with renewed purpose, grounded strategies, and a stronger connection to the voices that matter most.

Power, Shame & Screens
Protecting Young People from Image-Based Abuse

Young people are growing up in an increasingly complex digital world, one where image-based abuse is becoming disturbingly common.

But behind the headlines are real lives, real harm, and real opportunities for change.

This webinar is your chance to step into a conversation that goes beyond awareness and into action.

Bringing together experts from across education, youth services, and law, we’ll unpack the growing threats facing young people online and offer tangible, trauma-informed strategies for prevention, response, and recovery.

Together, we’ll explore how to build digital literacy, encourage consent-based online behaviour, and reduce the shame and stigma that prevent young people from speaking up.

We’ll also highlight what compassionate, early intervention looks like, at home, in classrooms, and across communities.

This session will add a powerful depth to a topic that urgently needs our attention and empathy.

Preventing Childhood Emotional Abuse: Prioritising Action
In partnership with Australian Institute of Family Studies.

This webinar will explore how we can improve our response to emotional abuse and the role parenting support can play in prevention.

We’re pleased to announce the topic and panel for the webinar we are producing in partnership with NAPCAN this year for National Child Protection Week (7–13 September).

This year we’ll be picking up the conversation from our National Child Protection Week webinar from 2023 on preventing childhood emotional abuse and the role of parenting and family supports.

It’s always a big week for NAPCAN and the sector and we’re very proud to be involved again.

09/09/2025

Throughout National Child Protection Week, NAPCAN will be hosting a webinar series. You can show your support and get involved by attending one or more of these events.

Unpacking Netflix’s Adolescence:
Building healthier masculinities in today’s online world
What’s really going on behind the screens of young people today? This confronting yet essential webinar dives deep into the hidden worlds of online subcultures that glorify misogyny and gendered violence.

Building on the conversations started by the hit Netflix series Adolescence, we’ll explore how these toxic narratives are spreading across social media, gaming, and online communities, shaping beliefs, behaviours, and even national security responses.

Hear from experts in education, policy, tech, and youth safety as we unpack how violent misogyny is taking root, why respectful relationships education (like NAPCAN’s Love Bites) is more urgent than ever, and how families, schools, and platforms can work together to intervene early.

We’ll also be discussing what real accountability from tech companies should look like.

If you care about the digital world young people are growing up in, this webinar is for you. Join the conversation.

It’s National Child Protection Week

National Child Protection Week 2025 will focus on what we can do to prevent child abuse.

National Child Protection Week reminds us about the important role we play in keeping children and young people safe.

This year, National Child Protection Week is from 7 to 13 September 2025. The theme is ‘Every Conversation Matters: Shifting Conversation to Action’. It highlights that while open discussions are crucial, words alone are not enough. We must turn dialogue into meaningful action.

We are proud to support the National Association for Prevention of Child Abuse and Neglect (NAPCAN) to deliver National Child Protection Week.

For over 30 years, NAPCAN has been running the annual campaign. Each builds on the strengths of previous years. It has evolved to provide support to communities to act on the core message of ‘protecting children is everyone’s businesses.
