The Daniel Morcombe Foundation, established in memory of Daniel Morcombe, is dedicated to child safety across the nation. Daniel, a 13 year old boy, tragically went missing in 2003. His case sparked national outrage and awareness about child abduction and child safety. The foundation aims to educate children, parents and communities about personal safety, empowering them with knowledge to prevent similar tragedies. A significant achievement of the foundation is the introduction of Daniel’s Law, which focuses on improving child protection policies. This legislation mandates that child safety education be integrated into the curriculum in schools, ensuring children are equipped with the skills to recognise and respond to dangerous situation.
The foundation also advocates for stronger penalties for child predators and promotes awareness campaigns to keep the community vigilant. Through these efforts, the foundation is able to honour Daniel’s memory and aims to create a safer environment for all Australian children.
Our support, no matter how big or how small, can make a difference.
