APRIL is Child Abuse Prevention Month

10 SIMPLE THINGS YOU CAN DO TO REDUCE CHILD SEXUAL ABUSE.

  1. Teach your child Body Safety from 2.5 years old (www.eepublishing.info)
  2. Talk to other families about the importance of teaching their children Body Safety.
  3. Ask your child's school/kindergarten if they teach Body Safety. If not, lobby for it.
  4. Share Body Safety articles and blogs with friends/family on Facebook.
  5. Lobby your local member to mandate the teaching of Body Safety in all schools and kindergartens.
  6. Stay alert to any warning signs that a child you know may be being abused (see http://eZepublishing.info/blog/)
  7. Believe a child when they disclose abuse-your initial reaction is crucial.
  8. Promote conversations about Body Safety in your community-so we are all looking out for children.
  9. Follow organisations protecting children from sexual abuse on Facebook-they need support.
  10. Speak Up about child sexual abuse-perpetrators want us to be silent so their secret remains hidden.

No more silence!

Educate children and our community in the importance of Body Safety!
