This week we are celebrating Children's Week, an important celebration for the Community Development Coordinators’ (CDCs) in Safer Family Services that support and empower parents and caregivers to become the best influencers in the lives of their children.

The theme for this year is ‘Children have the right to relax, play, and take part in the activities that they enjoy’ and CDCs have coordinated a range of activities for children and their families to enjoy.

To find your local CDC and hear about what’s happening in your local community:
