Get involved
Coalition Against Violence and Abuse Blue Mountains (CAVA Blue Mountains) invites children and young people aged 3–18 across the Blue Mountains to take part in our National Child Protection Week 2026 poster competition.
NCPW26 Poster Competition
This year's national theme is Every Conversation Matters: Shifting Conversation to Action.
The theme reminds us that protecting children starts with prioritising their voices and raising them in every conversation — and that conversations must translate into real steps that keep children safe.
We want children to show us — in their own visual language — what it looks like when people speak up, listen, and take action to keep children safe in the Blue Mountains community.
The Details
We invite children aged between 3-18yrs old in the Blue Mountains to create a visual poster, showing in their own language what it looks like when people speak up, listen, and take action to keep children safe in the Blue Mountains community.
