The Child Abuse Prevention Service (CAPS) aims to alleviate
child abuse in all its forms by providing support to parents, carers, kids,
families, those working with kids/families and other people who need us. We
believe that prevention is better than a cure!
TELEPHONE SERVICE
CAPS runs a free, telephone helpline offering support,
information, referral and crisis intervention. You can call the helpline anytime
on 1800 688 009 and speak to one of
our friendly support workers; - If you have been or are being abused.
- If you have concerns about the safety and welfare of a child.
- If you are finding it hard to cope with your kids.
- If you have harmed a child or you think you might harm a child.
- If you need clarification about what child abuse actually is.
- If you want to report abuse but don't know how.
- If you have any questions or need any information about child abuse.
- If you need help but don’t know where to get it.
- Or if you just need someone to talk to!
FAMILY PRESERVATION
CAPS cares about kids, parents, carers, and entire families so we’ve
designed a range of practical resources just for you! We have free, online
parenting courses, downloadable parent packs, information about online safety
and other resources for anyone who’s raising children and fun activity sheets,
posters and lots of other cool stuff for kids.
COMMUNITY EDUCATION
CAPS also works extensively within the community through its
partnerships and support of the local representatives who work with children
and families. We have a wide range of information, educational materials,
promotional collateral and resources available on this website specifically for
the use of councils, community workers, teachers and other professionals to
support them in their vital work.
