Child Protection Week which will be held from Sunday 4 September to Sunday 11 September, promotes breaking the silence about child abuse to help give courage to victims to speak up.
Many people in the Mayo electorate would like to help those affected by child abuse, but as the National Association for Prevention of Child Abuse has found, the vast majority of people do not know how to help.
The theme of Child Protection Week this year is “Play Your Part” to raise awareness about the different ways you can get involved and help.
There is nothing more important than providing a safe environment for children. There is a need to raise awareness of child abuse and how to deal with it. We need to work together as a community to protect our children and end child abuse.
