NAPCAN breaks down walls that hide child abuse
September 30, 2009 by Megan · 3 Comments
I am proud to notify you of an important initiative that I am supporting over the next two months. The National Attitudinal Survey is an innovative community project designed to gauge Australia’s attitudes on issues of child abuse and neglect.
Led by NAPCAN (National association for Prevention of Child Abuse and Neglect) and supported by the Federal Government the short 15min survey will bring together Australia’s public sector, business, communities and individuals to form one voice against child abuse and neglect.
Consider this:
Over 30,000 children are abused or neglected in Australia every year.
1 in 3 girls are sexually abused before the age of 18.
1 in 7 boys are sexually abused before the age of 18.
How can you act right now? By logging on now to:
www.preventingchildabuse.com.au
After you have finished the survey, forward the link to other staff, colleagues and your family and friends.
By doing so you will join NAPCAN’s Children’s Champion, Therese Rein, Channel 7 personality and 2007 Father of the Year David Koch, 100s of businesses, government departments and community organisations, and thousands of other Australians in acting to keep our children safe into the future.
I hope you choose to support this vital survey.

Hi Char
all is well. I am working at Alternate Care with children in care and am having a ball. I have just taken a position as manager of their therapeutic residential.
Thanks so much for picking up on the survey. The more who do it, the better picture NAPCAN can capture.
Hey Megan, Hello from lovely, chilly Canberra where there is a fantastic National Art Gallery proudly showing Emerging Elders art from all over Australia. Wonderful and the coffee shop is not bad either. I so love your tireless work towards protecting children. Lets break down those walls that hide child abuse and the more who join the better. Am doing the survey. Have fun in tropical Qld.
