USTRALIA: Hundreds of white balloons have been dotted
across Maitland as the Catholic Church confirms its commitment to
raising awareness of child abuse. The balloons were publicly
displayed across 56 schools on Friday, Sept 11 in honour of National
Protection Week, also signifying the importance of empowering survivors
to break their silence.
“We have a huge obligation to make sure our children are protected and it’s fundamentally important we let people know schools are a safe place for children,” principal of St Joseph’s Primary School, East Maitland, Anthony Weir said.
