The Child Protection Foundation is a non-profit organisation committed to ending child abuse in our society. Our primary focus is to reduce the occurrence and lasting impact of child abuse in New South Wales through specialised education initiatives tailored for primary and secondary school students. We also serve as a vital resource for the broader community, providing information and support to promote child protection and prevent abuse - fostering a safer future for all children.

The Child Protection Foundation was established in 2007 by Bruce and Kerry Fozzard, a married couple with children of their own, living in Sydney. They had first-hand experience of child abuse in the late 1990’s when they discovered that a child they knew well was being seriously abused. The child’s shattered family received very little support from “the
system”.

They struggled through the emotional cauldron that child abuse creates, feeling powerless and alone. After seeing the agony this family endured, Bruce and Kerry decided to empower parents and children by doing something to make a real difference in the fight against child abuse. They took a stand and began the process of establishing and registering The Child Protection Foundation.

As directors of the Foundation, Bruce and Kerry have vowed to:

1. Spread their message about child abuse throughout the community.
2. Alert children to the dangers they can face at any time
 3. Assist families who must endure the unbelievably traumatic effects of child abuse.
