By all playing our part in prevention, there will come a time when Aotearoa New Zealand is a place where children live a life free of abuse and neglect.
This year we are focusing on how and where children and young people spend a considerable amount of their time – online. Child Safeguarding Week 2024 is raising awareness of some of the risks and challenges young people face when using devices and the internet. By the end of the week, we want parents, organisations and communities to:
- have the confidence and knowledge to help young people make safe choices when connecting and sharing digitally
- know how to respond when things don’t go to plan and harm occurs
By learning and working together we can reduce harm and mitigate risk for children when they go online. Enabling them to harness the positive potential the internet has to offer.

Knowledge is Key
Education and training is a key component to preventing child abuse and neglect. With knowledge most abuse can be prevented or interrupted.
