Child protection leads Monday media update

Today’s media update focuses on coverage of child protection in Victoria. A survey of street homelessness in Melbourne, and coverage of legal barriers to church abuse actions also feature.

Please also note that this week is National Children’s Week, with Universal Children’s Day this Wednesday 26 October (on our AGM).

Inclusion of articles in the media scan does not necessarily imply Centre endorsement of their content. Our aim is to spark robust but respectful discussion of issues.
