Australian Government Royal Commission on Child Abuse

The past few days in the Australian media has been flooded about the announcement of the Royal Commission in Child Abuse. Most parents like myself ears pricked up and listened. To put it simply it has to do with the protection of children. This certainly dominated all discussions after our Chantelle went to bed and was sound asleep. About a week ago Andrew gave me a USB stick with resources from his involvement in Children's Ministry. This morning as I was about to walk out the door, drop Chantelle of at preschool and off to work I thought I’ll try and take some time in my lunch hour to have a look at this information. I found out that our General Conference announced a campaign on the 6 August 2012 regarding this very issue. So this small blog of mine today is to make you aware of, “the seven campaign”. This campaign seeks to increase personal awareness, responsibility, and involvement to effectively help end abuse against children in every family and community. See how you and your community can get involved. I know I certainly will! www.thesevencampaign.com
