Keeping Kids Safe Conference

The Keeping Kids Safe conference was held on the 14-15 April and provided an opportunity for community and government organisations who work with at risk children and families, to share what really works to keep our children safe. The conference was hosted by Presbyterian Support Northern and was designed to offer the community the opportunity to come together to see what collectively we can do better for our communities, families and children.

The findings for the Keeping Kids Safe conference are now available in summarised format. You can download the full findings below or select relevent sections to download.
