Fact-Checking Policy

Our mission is to positively influence local Perth family households and future generations by bringing great ideas, trusted recommendations, and convenience to the fingertips of busy parents.

We do this by sharing ideas and creating products on the Kids In Perth platform that allow parents to connect with businesses and organisations that we recommend so they're able to seek help or make informed purchasing decisions.

 

Kids In Perth Platform consists of the following:

  • Website
    Library of custom website articles and landing pages that provide parents with all the information they need to find help, ask questions and/or make appointments.
  • Social Media
    Our community of local Perth parents and family households whom we inform and engage with on a regular basis.
  • The Parents Paper 
    Founded in 1994-95, initially known as Kids In Perth, it is Perth's very first parenting specific publication and totally free!In the early 2000s, it was renamed The Parents Paper by Tony Wong (the current Director's father) so parents will naturally know to pick it up when they see it.

Thankfully, the Kids In Perth halo brand was kept and incorporated into print mastheads and online presence.

Today, The Parents Paper has evolved into a print-to-digital platform that QR codes to items on the Kids In Perth website.

It represents a physical version of the website.
