ChildSafe International™
Foundational Concept For Our Mission

ChildSafe International™ has adopted a very strong foundational concept in our mission for the operations of our organization.  We affirm the belief that to serve the needs of others with humility and patience, is far greater an honor than to be a master of many with lacking of widsom.  This means in essence that we prefer not to be in the position of an organization that sits on it's haunches and is recognized for setting a standard, we would rather be recognized for serving others with the purpose of a standard which is established. 

There are two types of people, you have dreamers who dream of accomplishing a task, then you have the visionaries who envision an idea or concept and make it a functional reality with productive purpose.  We have chosen for the precept of our morality of trade to be based upon the established policies and affirmations from UNESCO Purposes and Functions, the Bible, .Kids Domains, Inc. Content Policy, and the Qur'an.  Our efforts must always be conducted without bias of any kind.  Our Content Policy will continue to be established based upon the influence of the examples set forth by various recognized International Organizations, Foundations, and International Legal Codes that are focused on a peaceable method to provide a consistent and authoritative perspective on our business trade.

ChildSafe International™ Primary Goal

The primary goal of our efforts has been and will continue to be to organize and support the following;

• provision and enforcement of the iWatchDog™ Program, a structured program developed to provide an ICCS™ Certification seal which a web site, product, or service can bare.  This seal signifies the web site, product, or service is consistent with the iWatchDog™ Program guidelines which are applicable to that particular web site, product, or service, as well as being consistent with State, Federal, COPPA, and EU guidelines. There will be two certifications, one for Commercial, the other for Private Sector/Household Consumers ChildSafe™ verification. 

• mediation for all fee-based ICCS™ Certified web sites, products, and services for a mutual resolve in the event of a situation where a product or service is purchased by a consumer who is dissatisfied with it and cannot come to a mutual resolve with the vendor.  ChildSafe International™ will provide this service free of charge.  In the event of an issue not being resolved without legal assistance, it will be the responsibility of the vendor and consumer to obtain their own legal representation and ChildSafe Internationa™ shall not be held liable for any associated fees incurred by either party.

• a community of ChildSafe™ websites dedicated to children under the age of 13, that provide an interesting, educational, fun, and growing experience and are consistent with COPPA and EU regulations. These web sites will have a mandatory .kids extension and be hosted in a fee based ICCS™ Certified Internet community.  These web sites will be subject to periodic auditing to ensure consistency with iWatchDog™ and COPPA guidelines.

• provision and enforcement of a Privacy Statement certification program which will be governed under the  iWatchDog™ program.  This certification will ensure the privacy statement in question is keeping a consistent consistent effort to be compliant with COPPA and EU guidelines.

• support and endorse all web sites, products, and services which are using the fee-based ICCS™ Certification including and especially so, any products or services which contribute to the safety of a child in the use of the Internet.

ChildSafe International™, will have a formal agreement from our fee-based registrants to abide by our policies via a binding private contract.  ChildSafe International™ will also have a formal online agreement from all ICCS™ Certification applicants which states clearly that the applicant agrees to abide by ChildSafe International™ policies, terms, and conditions including iWatchDog™ Program guidelines.

We will continue to strive to put the Bite Back into the Fight for educating the public, parents, businesses, libraries, and schools about safety for children and family members. We work together to accomplish this task of educating and increasing public awareness through a variety of methods.

• Internet public awareness campaigns.

• Educating school administrators how to configure their browsers to use content filtering.

• Newsletters both online and hard copy print.

• Brochures placed in Libraries, Schools, and other public locations.

• Radio and Television announcements.

• Public Service Announcements.

• Alliances with other organizations that work together with us to increase public awareness.

We labor hard to create a major incentive for web developers, companies, and general users.  That incentive is to get educated on the dangers in society today for children and family members and how they can make use of solutions available to lessen the level of danger we presently are facing.

We all are dedicated to working together for a common cause we will not rest until this dream becomes a reality!
