Held annually on the last Friday of October, Day for Daniel honours the memory of Daniel Morcombe, asking all Australians to wear red on the special day.
Daniel Morcombe was a 13-year-old boy from Queensland who was abducted and was labelled as a ‘missing person’ for eight years before police were eventually able to track down his killer in 2003.
Burdekin Special Education School, Burdekin Christian College and Burdekin Family Day care all took part in the Day for Daniel event, with a sea of red flooding the Burdekin in support of the day.
Parents, carers, and educators were encouraged to start a conversation with children and young people about personal safety, with schools and early learning centres to conduct child safety education activities.
Day for Daniel is the Daniel Morcombe Foundation’s biggest fundraiser each year. With support through fundraising, the foundation continues to develop free resources and programs for parents, carers, and educators to teach children how to stay safe. Funds also contribute to supporting young victims of crime.
You can utilise the Daniel Morcombe Foundation’s ‘Keeping Kids Safe’ resources and lesson plans to help educate your children about safety.
Keeping kids safe is vital – Recognise, React and Report!
