At the Valuing Children Initiative, we acknowledge Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people as the Traditional Custodians of this Country and its waters, particularly the Whadjuk Noongar people who’s boodja (Country) we were founded on. We wish to pay respect to the Elders past, present and emerging, particularly our children and young people and future decision makers.
The Valuing Children Initiative wishes to acknowledge the rights of all koolangkas
(children) and we wholeheartedly endorse the United Nations Conventions of the Rights of the Child.
We want to say to all children: that you matter and you are valued.
