It Takes a Village to keep kids safe
Where do kids need to be safe? Everywhere in the Community.
Who should keep them safe? Everyone in the Community.
You might think that it’s someone else’s job to keep kids in our community safe. The police. Children’s Aid. Schools. That’s true. But the best way to make this community
safe for all children and youth is for the entire community to make it their job. It takes a village to raise a child. It takes a village to keep them safe.
We all have one thing in common and that’s family. Your family members
look out for you and you look out for them. That’s the spirit we need to keep children and youth safe. We’re all part of a larger family we call community. By following these steps and working together, we can make a difference in the
lives of these children and youth, and our community.
