To recognise National Child Protection Week the Clarence Valley Council has partnered with the Clarence Valley Child & Family Network (CFN) to run a colouring competition for Clarence Valley kids.
Colouring-in entry forms can be picked up from any Clarence Valley library or downloaded from this story.
Completed artworks can be dropped into your local library or our customer service centres in Grafton or Maclean before 1 September.
Winners will be announced at the CFN Children's Spring Carnival at the Clarence River Jockey Club on 1 September.
There are prizes for each age category: 0-3 years old, 4-9, and 10+.
National Child Protection Week (NCPW) runs from 3-9 September. The 2023 theme 'every child in every community needs a fair go'captures the essence of National Child Protection Week which aims to promote a safe and supported life for every child, now and into the future.
