Description

Imaginif is about to launch a new protective behaviour concept: the largest on-line child protection conversation in the world. To meet our aim of the largest global and ongoing child protection conversation we seek trade specific writers willing to commit to writing just one child safety focused blog per week, answer comments on their blog and participate (at least once per week) in associated discussions in the child safety forums.

This is a voluntary position and your commitment would be for a minimum three months. Accepted bloggers will email their weekly writing to Megan Bayliss (minimum 350 words) to be posted on the new site. Blogs will contain a short bio of the blogger at the end of each blog with a link to either blogger�s own site or place of business. In text linking to own child focused business, other articles or industry specific sites is encouraged. What a great way to increase traffic to your site.

Bloggers who have English as a second language are welcome to send duplicate posts: one in English and one in their mother tongue. Publishing both ensures that people who don�t speak English can still become part of the largest on-line child protection conversation in the world.

Volunteer writers will retain copyright of their material but please respect that once posted it should not be posted word for word elsewhere.

Blog and forum topics covered will include, but not be limited to topics such as:

� Water, sun, farm, poison, snow and road safety (each is a separate category).
� Child sexual assault prevention.
� Healthy and safe food for kids.
� Travelling safely with kids.
� Internet Safety for kids.
� Gang safety and protection.
� Bully safety.
� Teenage and dating safety.
� Domestic violence child witness safety.
� Child focused business protection and safety.
� Assist dogs for children with a disability.
� Covert child photography safety.
� Child focused product safety

How to apply

Applications are to be sent by email. Applicants may apply for two separate child safety topic areas.

Applicant writers will demonstrate high knowledge in their nominated area of child safety by addressing particular dynamics of the issue and why they want to write in the area for no remuneration, will send a short bio, three samples of their writing (two previously published pieces please), a succinct résumé or Curriculum Vitae and two referees (name, position and email address) to Megan for consideration.

Applications with either a current suitability card for working with children or criminal clearance are highly desirable. Finally, if accepted applicants must be willing to interact with Imaginif, via email or phone.

It is anticipated that the global conversation on child protection web site will launch in late March 2007. The site is currently being purpose developed. There is no time frame on application for these voluntary jobs. Writers will come and go.

For more information, and to email your application, contact Megan at imaginif@bigpond.com.au. I�m looking forward to entering into the largest on-line child protection conversation in the world with you.
