PUBLICATION READINESS

A final public checklist for keeping FOCaF useful, static, safe, and reviewable.

Use this route as the publication closeout page for route health, PDF inclusion, local-page verification, child-facing safety, RFC boundaries, and public-service readiness.

PUBLICATION READINESS

The site is organized around family help first, public review second, and reform literacy third.

Family-use first

Start Here, One Thing Today, Family Tool Map, Official Doors, and the Download Library route people to practical support before policy reading.

Static and private-safe

The site avoids forms, accounts, uploads, private case intake, storage calls, tracking widgets, and child-data collection.

Review boundaries

RFC pages ask for public-language, safety, due-process, source, and implementation feedback without asking anyone to submit private family facts.

PUBLICATION CHECKS

What should stay true before publication.

Routes and links

Internal links, sitemap entries, search index items, PDF landings, and route-manifest records should agree before publication.

PDF library

All 97 PDFs remain included under /downloads/, open without parser errors, and have public landing routes where appropriate.

Local pages

County and local pages should keep verification fields, official links, 211/support routing, last-reviewed dates, and uniqueness signals.

Kids learning

Games should remain static, keyboard-friendly, no-account, no-tracking, no-chat, and free of prompts that ask children to document adult conflict.

Public language

Public pages should not expose planning notes, private workflow language, or source comments.

Safety boundaries

Emergency, crisis, legal-help, professional-obligation, abuse, coercive-control, trauma, fear, and mixed-dynamics boundaries should remain visible.

KEY PUBLIC DOORS

Use the right lane for the right purpose.

Families and helpers

Use practical checklists, support calls, school/provider updates, calm communication tools, and official doors first.

Choose a tool

Public reviewers

Use RFC pages, source requests, hard questions, reviewer toolkit, and public review quality checks.

Open RFC

Officials and press

Use the officials/press route to understand what exists, what is proposed, and what should not be sent.
