FOCaF family resource

Content governance

Future edits should improve clarity without turning the site into legal advice, crisis response, or private case intake.

Plain language

Write for stressed families.

Short sections, clear next steps, printable tools, and careful boundaries beat outrage and jargon.

Policy separation

FOCaF supports review; JT for ME carries the bill lane.

Family tools and campaign/citizen-initiative material stay separated while cross-linked.

Review discipline

Hard questions stay visible.

Abuse-safety, due process, implementation cost, and constitutional issues should be explicitly tracked.

Source discipline

Claims need source strength labels.

Official, peer-reviewed, public report, explainer, and advocacy sources should not be blended together.

REVIEW QUALITY

Keep public comments and site updates bounded.

Public review quality checklist

Check usefulness, safety boundaries, no-private-intake rules, local uniqueness, and source support before adding or revising public material.

Open checklist

Accessibility and print readiness

Verify mobile, keyboard, reduced-motion, print-preview, and no-data-collection behavior before release.
