Australia's Biggest Child Safety Lesson
Home » Keeping Kids Safe »The award-winning Australia’s Biggest Child Safety Lesson (ABCSL) is back to deliver important safety messages to children, for its eighth consecutive year. The 2024 livestreamed lesson will teach early primary years – aged 4 to 7 – enthusiastic consent, and upper primary years – aged 8 to 12 – affirmative consent.
Building on what students learnt in 2023 about consent, ABCSL 2024 will provide an easy way for teachers, parents and carers to have conversations about enthusiastic and affirmative consent confidently with children. FREE ready-made resources and lessons will explore how to recognise, react and report and practice strategies to use to receive or deny consent affirmatively.
ABCSL will be livestreamed to hundreds of thousands of students on 3 September 2024, during National Child Protection Week.
Register now for 2024 and take a look at ABCSL from previous years in the videos below.
