Little Matters NZ : Small conversations that can make a big difference

A new child sexual abuse prevention initiative supported by ACC, Little Matters encourages small everyday actions that help keep tamariki safer now and support healthier relationships in the future.

Designed for parents and caregivers of children under 12, the campaign focuses on practical, achievable habits and conversations that can help create safer environments for children both offline and online.

It explores topics like body safety, feelings, respect, communication and online experiences through simple, parent-friendly content developed with guidance from prevention experts and communities across Aotearoa New Zealand.

Check it out (and we'll be sharing :-) )on Little Matters NZ Insta and FB pages.
