Body Safety Australia presented a free webinar aiming to empower children with skills and knowledge that will reduce the risk of them becoming victims of childhood sexual abuse.
Teaching children about body safety and consent from an early age helps them develop respectful relationships as they grow into adults and become more considerate of others, understanding that everyone has the right to feel safe and secure.
