Karana Downs Police participated in Child Protection Week by attending the North Ipswich Aussie Kindies Centre.
The children were given an ‘introduction to police’ presentation. The presentation also incorporated ‘protective behaviours’. Protective behaviours teaches children to develop personal safety skills. They were reminded that everybody has the right to feel safe all the time and to recognise when they are feeling unsafe and to seek help by developing a safety network.
The children were also encouraged to learn their full name including their first and last names and that they can seek help from police.
The children enjoyed the visit, especially the opportunity to see the police car with red and blue flashing lights and hear the loud siren.
Queensland Child Protection Week runs from September 3 to 9. It promotes the value of children and focusing attention on the issues of child abuse and neglect.
