Today is Day for Daniel, Australia's largest child safety education and awareness day. Today and every day, let us educate our children about personal safety, teach them to identify unsafe situations, and empower them to report abuse and seek help from trusted adults.

There's only one week to go before our 2024 TEACHX Awards ceremony on Thursday 24 October, on the eve of World Teachers' Day. The ceremony will also be livestreamed via the QCT's website so that school communities across Queensland can watch and celebrate together. #TEACHX2024

The QCT contributes to child safety in Queensland to ensure students remain safe and protected from harm and abuse. Resources can be found on the Daniel Morcombe Foundation's website here: ow.ly/rgG350TAKAH.
