Constable Care Child Safety Awards - Nominations Open

Nominations for the Constable Care Child Safety Awards 2013 are now open. 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.

Constable Care Chairman 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 2012 Awards attracted nominations from across the state as businesses, organisations and individuals came together to celebrate child safety in Western Australia. Individual Award winners included Amy Potter, NAB Auskick Coordinator at Armadale Junior Football Club and Lynelle Fozard of SDERA, while organisations including RAC WA and City of Joondalup were recognised as the winners of their categories. WA Sports Federation was awarded the Constable Care Child Safety Award of the Year for their Safe Clubs 4 Kids program.

This year's Gala Presentation Ceremony promises to be another fantastic event, with a three course dinner and entertainment from world famous tribute show 100% Kylie.  Finalists in all categories are provided with two free tickets to the event. Winners of the three individual awards each collect a cheque for $1,000, and all winners receive a Constable Care Child Safety Awards medal and certificate. The winner of the Constable Care Child Safety Award of the Year 2013 will also receive a special medal and a cheque for $2,000, thanks to Apache.

Nominations close on 31st May, and the Gala Presentation Ceremony will be held at Crown Perth on 10th August. Nominate now...

Constable Care Wrapped With John Hughes' Generosity

John Hughes knows that child safety goes beyond the seatbelts and airbags in his vehicles. Thanks to the support and generosity of this iconic Perth business, the Constable Care Child Safety Foundation is heading back to school with a brand new uniform for their brand new vehicle.

John Hughes has generously provided a new Volkswagen Caddy, taking the fleet of vans to three. Designed by local artist Jeffrey Phillips, new and exclusive vehicle artwork wraps reflect the diverse Western Australian landscapes visited by the Constable Care team. Drivers passing on the left will see the red dust and farms of rural WA, while the right of the van is adorned with the Perth city skyline – complete with The WACA, BHP Billiton building and Bankwest Tower.

For an organisation that reaches over 150,000 Western Australian children every year, safe and reliable transport is essential. The Constable Care vans enable performers to cover the entire Perth Metro area, and even as far afield as Carnamah, Merredin and Geraldton. The Volkswagen Caddy provided to the organisation has ample space to transport the tools of the trade – speakers, stages, props, costumes and of course the Constable Care puppets. Keep your eyes on the road and look out for Constable Care’s new vans this school term, and make sure you’re also following on Twitter and Facebook for a van-tastic competition coming up soon.
