National Children's Week (24 October to 1 November 2020) celebrates the rights of all children and young people to join groups and safely connect with others.
This week provides an important opportunity for us to consider how we can empower children and young people to speak up in both a physical and online environment.
While technology has allowed children and young people to maintain social connections during the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, it may also present new challenges and risks to child safety. From individuals to organisations, we all have a role to play in keeping children and young people safe.
