National Child Protection Week
Sept 7 – 13 2025
This National Child Protection Week, Zonta House acknowledges the vital importance of ensuring the safety and wellbeing of children and young people.
Family and domestic violence impacts children profoundly. At Zonta House, we recognise that children are not just witnesses, they are directly impacted.
We understand children are victim-survivors in their own right.
They deserve to be seen, heard, and supported with care that recognises their individual needs, developmental stage, abilities, and gender identity. Providing services where children feel safe, protected, and comfortable is not only essential, and it’s a responsibility we all share.
Our Commitment to Child Safety
Zonta House is dedicated to creating a child-safe and child-centred culture across all of our programs, services, and activities. In line with the National Principles for Child Safe Organisations and relevant legislation in Western Australia, we are committed to:
- Prioritising the safety, rights, and voices of children and young people.
- Ensuring accessibility and inclusivity for all children, from all cultures, backgrounds and ability.
- Embedding child safety and wellbeing into every aspect of our work.
Our services are designed to ensure children feel safe, are seen, and have their voices heard. We are committed to providing compassionate support and advocating for their needs.
Looking to the Future
We are expanding our services to develop dedicated programs for children and young people, ensuring they have access to tailored, age-appropriate, and trauma-informed support. Our vision is where every child who engages with Zonta House feels safe, supported, and empowered.
Zonta House recognises the impact of family and domestic violence on children and families, and is committed to ensuring that children feel safe, are seen, are supported, and that their voices are heard.
This National Child Protection Week, we reaffirm our commitment to protecting children and young people, not only today, but every day.
