National Strategy to Prevent and Respond to Child Sexual AbuseOn 27 October, the Australian Government launched the National Strategy to Prevent and Respond to Child Sexual Abuse (2021-2030), a 10 year whole-of-nation framework. Prime Minister Scott Morrison said the landmark National Strategy was the first of its kind. Stop the StigmaResearch carried out by the Australian Centre to Counter Child Exploitation has shown that child sexual abuse and online sexual exploitation is a stigmatised topic and not well understood. By opening discussion, we reduce the stigma and build awareness. Survivors are more likely to seek support. Perpetrators will find it harder to hide. This is vital for preventing this crime from happening to our children. WORKSHOPSSafe Church Level 1 November December
