Because
child care is critically important to children, parents,
families, caregivers, employers and others, organizations
and individuals that provide child care information
on the Internet have special, strong obligations to
be trustworthy, provide high quality content, protect
users’ privacy, and adhere to standards of best practices
for online commerce and online professional services.
RECOGNIZING
the responsibility of providing information on the
Web and believing that all people who use the Internet
for child care related purposes must be able to trust
that the sites they visit to adhere to the highest
ethical standards and that the information provided
is credible, child care online has adopted
the following CODE OF ETHICS.
1) To provide the highest
level of service to all users through appropriate
and usefully organized
resources
and accurate, unbiased, and courteous responses to
all requests.
2) To acknowledge the
importance of early years of childhood, and encourage
the development
of
the uniqueness and potential of each child by providing
parents and child care providers
with
industry-standard information and resources
that assist them in ensuring a child reaches
his/her
optimum physical, social, cognitive and creative development.
3) To build a partnership
with parents, caregivers, employers and organizations
by sharing
knowledge
that will benefit the development of all children.
4)
To strive for excellence in the child care field by
maintaining and enhancing our own
knowledge
and skills.
5) To respect and acknowledge
that the responsibility for choosing and monitoring
child care
arrangements
lies solely with the parent
6) To respect the rights
and dignity of colleagues and other professional bodies.
7) To
take care not to publish inaccurate, misleading or
distorted material.
8) To not allow our
personal beliefs to interfere with fair representation
of the information and
resources
presented on child care online.
9) To protect each user's
right to privacy and confidentiality with respect
to information sought
or
received on child care online.
