Editorial Policy
Content submitted to the Health For Kids Network
by users is subject to prior review by editors [see Content
Management], who determine its suitability. Any content
offered to the site may be rejected by editors if, in the editor's
opinion, it advocates violence, contains profanity, is inflammatory
in nature, is not relevant to the subject of that section of
the site, or is otherwise inappropriate. The policy does not
seek to filter out but rather to include the best.
The views expressed in content appearing on the
Health For Kids Network are entirely those of the originators,
and should not be attributed in any manner to the Health For
Kids Network.
Content Management
The goal of the Health For Kids Network website
is to ensure an open and accessible content system dedicated
to the provision of quality information. The content management
system of the site is based on the editorial judgment of selected
individuals and organisations that demonstrate extensive knowledge
of the subject, objectivity and openness. Editors are responsive
to direction from advisors and sectoral experts, who themselves
are drawn from a range of institutions and organisations.
The site uses a 'deferred publishing' approach,
so that content suggested by users is reviewed prior to acceptance
on the site. Selection of resources, issues, discussion topics,
news and technical data for the site is carefully analysed and
based on fact and the needs of the Health For Kids Network audience.
This challenge of combining Internet technologies with sound
human judgment, in a manner that is both open and professionally
sound, is at the core of the Health For Kids Network's editorial
and assessment policy.
