Child Safeguarding Week
7 - 13 September 2026
More details coming soon
Child Safeguarding Week is an annual campaign led by Safeguarding Children, bringing together individuals, organisations and communities across Aotearoa to strengthen the safety and wellbeing of children.
It provides a platform to increase public awareness about child abuse and neglect, how it occurs and what can be done to prevent it.
Each year, a key theme helps focus practical action and everyday safeguarding.
In 2026, we are asking an important question:
How safe are the places your children go?
It invites all of us to look more closely at the places children go, and the role we each play in keeping them safe.
More details about this year’s campaign will be shared soon.
