- Teach your child Body Safety from 2.5 years old (www.eepublishing.info)
- Talk to other families about the importance of teaching their children Body Safety.
- Ask your child's school/kindergarten if they teach Body Safety. If not, lobby for it.
- Share Body Safety articles and blogs with friends/family on Facebook.
- Lobby your local member to mandate the teaching of Body Safety in all schools and kindergartens.
- Stay alert to any warning signs that a child you know may be being abused (see http://eZepublishing.info/blog/)
- Believe a child when they disclose abuse-your initial reaction is crucial.
- Promote conversations about Body Safety in your community-so we are all looking out for children.
- Follow organisations protecting children from sexual abuse on Facebook-they need support.
- Speak Up about child sexual abuse-perpetrators want us to be silent so their secret remains hidden.
No more silence!
