Child Safety Handbook

“Youth and vulnerability go hand in hand. Our children’s innocence, inexperience and uninhibited sense of adventure, the very qualities that we find most endearing, can sometimes combine to put them in harm’s way.

As parents, family and concerned citizens it is this knowledge that harm can come to children that should give us cause to examine what we can best do to help keep them safe…”

The Handbook

There is no higher priority than protecting our children.  The greatest tool available to combat youth vulnerability is through knowledge.  The Child Safety Handbook is an excellent tool design to communication prevention strategies to parents, teachers, carers, friends and citizens.
