Today the Daniel Morcombe Foundation asks parents, carers and educators to keep chatting with kids about their personal safety.
The Foundation has created Child Safety Conversation Cards to help parents, carers and educators have the personal safety chat with their kids.
Day for Daniel is our national Day of Action on child safety and protection. It is the largest child safety awareness day of its type in Australia. Now in its 15th year, pre registrations online are at record levels with final numbers expected to reach over 3,600 schools and early childhood centres and hundreds of businesses and events. It is anticipated that over 1.3million people across Australia will hold a conversation about child safety today.
Denise says “Daniel’s legacy is to keep kids safe. His tragic story is a conversation starter on why we must educate children to recognise potential danger. This could be in the offline world or the online world. We thank you for remembering Daniel and honouring his legacy.”
Bruce says “Day for Daniel is not a bitter day without hope. It is a day where Australia reflects upon the past, wipes away that tear and makes a commitment to do more to protect our children from predators. This year’s motto is: “Keep Chatting””
The Daniel Morcombe Foundation also presents the 3rd Annual Australia’s Biggest Child Safety Lesson (ABCSL). The lesson is a 20-minute educational video which aims to teach personal safety strategies in an age-appropriate and empowering manner. This year, ABCSL is designed for upper primary school students. Our entertaining news style lesson discusses safety tips with young people and provides them with strategies they can use if they ever find themselves feeling unsafe.
Last year, approximately 120,000 children viewed the lesson.
The lesson is available from our website via the following link:

To view the lesson, all you need is an internet enabled device that can stream video content with audio.
Lesson guides for Educators, Parents and Carers can be downloaded from our website.
Those wanting a lesson suitable for 5 to 8 year olds can use last year’s ABCSL which is also available on our website.
The Foundation has free child safety videos and activities to suit a diverse range of students from prep to senior levels.
Teachers have access to teacher guides to support classroom delivery and parent/carer resources are available to encourage discussions about personal safety at home.
On this 15th Day for Daniel, the Daniel Morcombe Foundation is very excited to announce the appointment of Terri, Bindi and Robert Irwin as Patrons of the Foundation. They have been supporters of the Foundation since it was established in 2005 so becoming patrons makes their ongoing support more official.
The 15th Annual Day for Daniel will be held on Friday 25th October 2019. It is about educating children about their personal safety through child safety and protection initiatives. It is about and teaching our children to ‘Recognise, React and Report’ in unsafe situations.
Wear Red, Educate and Donate is the theme of Day for Daniel as we strive to enable schools, kindergartens, businesses and communities across Australia take action and conduct child safety activities in their communities to help Keep Kids Safe.
Parents, carers, educators can visit the Daniel Morcombe Foundation website for resources and information.
