Child Safety Curriculum The State Government is committed to child
safety. The Daniel Morcombe Child Safety Curriculum has been developed
for all Queensland students. The curriculum aims to improve students’
knowledge, skills, understanding and awareness about personal safety
through three core messages: Recognise, React and Report. Further
information about the curriculum is available on the Department
of Education, Training and Employment’s website at www.education.qld.gov.au/child-safety-curriculum.
The Foundation’s Vision All too often, children are the innocent victim’s
in our sometimes cruel society. The events surrounding Daniel’s
disappearance have strengthened a community in their resolve to
ensure that this type of tragedy never occurs again. But the Daniel
Morcombe Foundation’s belief and vision is one that also incorporatesa
future where all children are provided with protection, education
and support in their lives.
