19.01.2022 This week we’re observing National Child Protection week and the 2020 theme of ‘Putting Children First’. Children with a disability are at an increased risk of neglect and abuse within our community. We here at DSV always put children and vulnerable people first. We want to ensure they have a voice in this important conversation. Thank you for the important work that the Australian Federal Police & NAPCAN are doing in the space. https://www.afp.gov.au//cam/national-child-protection-week

Everyone has the right to fall in love with movement. #DSV #Autism #AutismAwareness #Movement #TenpinBowling #Bowling https://bowlpatrol.com.au/participants/program-schedule/

If you need some support why not give them a call and they can help you navigate some of those parenting dilemmas. In Victoria just call 13 22 89 for the cost of a local call.
