Children are precious gifts. Unfortunately,
some suffer from abuse – even in their
own homes.
Because not all wounds are visible and not all
cries are heard, Give A Voice seeks to raise
awareness of existing child abuse and to
advocate the need for child protection by
working closely with parents, communities,
and you, to protect our little ones and keep
them safe.
We are Big Love Child Protection Specialist
Centre, part of the Montfort Care network of
programmes, set up since 2013 and committed to
improving the lives of individuals and families
facing transitional challenges.
We provide a wide range of case work
management and supportive services, including
the management of the 24/7 National Anti-
Violence Helpline (1800-777-0000).
We believe that families with child protection
concerns deserve child-centric, family-focused
and community-based support.
Give A Voice is an annual awareness campaign organised by Big Love Child Protection Specialist Centre
to amplify issues of child abuse, and to advocate for child protection.
Child abuse is defined as any act of commission or omission by a parent or caregiver, which would
endanger or impair the child’s physical or emotional well-being, and is judged by community values and
professionals as abusive.
Any non-accidental act that causes physical
injury to a child constitutes physical abuse. This
includes deliberately causing bruises, burns,
cuts or broken bones by a range of acts such
as beating and excessive discipline.
Any act where a child is used for sexual
pleasure, or taken advantage of sexually, is
considered sexual abuse. This also includes
exposing a child to sexual acts or pornography.
This refers to any act that harms a child
emotionally or psychologically. These acts can
be repeated, or be an isolated extreme incident.
Neglect occurs when a child is harmed,
because a parent or caregiver fails to provide
adequate supervision, food, medical care, and/
or clothing that’s appropriate to the child’s age
and level of development.
