What does being nice have to do with child abuse prevention?: Lesley Taylor at TEDxDarwin 2012

Lesley Taylor founded NAPCAN (National Association for the Prevention of Child Abuse and Neglect) in the Northern Territory in March 2000 and passionately believes in creating safer communities for children and young people.

Lesley Taylor has devoted her life to the protection and safety of children. This talk takes you from the shocking issues of child abuse and working in child protection to her establishing NAPCAN in the Northern Territory. Lesley takes the audience from abuse to prevention and how "Being Nice to Kids" is the challenge we need to face to make the most significant change for kids in Australia.

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organised events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organised events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organised TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organised.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
