This year’s theme is ‘Every conversation matters,’ and there are some fantastic prizes up for grabs! Decorate Your Space is an evolution of our highly successful Decorate Your Gate initiative from 2022 and 2023. You can still decorate your gate, or choose to decorate a fence, wall, door, desk, or floor—the only limit is your imagination! Learn more and access resources from the Office of Safeguarding at https://lnkd.in/gVTkaDdN We can’t wait to see all the entries! 🎨✨ #NationalChildProtectionWeek #EveryConversationMatters
