Nominate now for prestigious awardsTuesday, April 30, 2013 - 7:35 AM

The West Australian Football Commission encourages junior clubs and Auskick centres to nominate now for The Constable Care Child Safety Awards 2013.

Last year, NAB Auskick Coordinator Amy Potter took out an individual award for her outstanding work at Armadale Junior Football Club. The WAFC is hoping more football winners like Amy will emerge in 2013.

The prestigious annual event will recognise and reward the people and organisations whose work or voluntary efforts make a positive difference to child safety in Western Australia.

Last year’s Gala Presentation Ceremony was attended by celebrities, dignitaries and child safety stars from across the state, and provided a magnificent evening of entertainment and celebration.

Chairman of the Constable Care Board Howard Sattler urged people to nominate, saying "There are so many individuals, programs and organisations in Western Australia helping to keep children safe, often without realizing the positive impact they have on our kids and our communities. Help to give them the recognition they deserve."

The nomination period closes on Friday May 31. Go to www.childsafetyawards.org.au to nominate online or download and print a nomination form.
