How we look – intro 19 June 2012 | Version 1 | Page 1 of 2

Our brand is an asset, it tells people (our beneficiaries, our supporters, the public, and our partners) who we are and what they can expect from us in terms of quality and service. It’s how we identify ourselves, it encompasses our personality as an organisation, and helps differentiate us from other organisations. In short, our identity sums up everything we stand for. Achieving the goal of an enduring brand requires a conscious, coordinated, consistent approach to communications and behaviour. That approach is based on the understanding that every choice and every decision – not advertising or collateral alone – communicates something to someone about the Save the Children Australia brand. An important way of expressing our brand is through our visual identity. These guidelines explain the various elements that make up our visual identity – what they are, how they fit together, and why it is essential that we use them in the right way. We also need flexibility to communicate campaign messages effectively, so these guidelines will help you consider when to adapt or develop aspects of our visual identity. If you’re ever in doubt, just refer back to this document. We don’t ask for much, just a little love and respect for our brand. We think it’s a pretty flexible system that allows creativity, so give it your best shot. And make us proud.

Thank you. Glenn King

Director, Services

How we look | Q&A 19 June 2012 | Version 1 | Page 2 of 2

Why do we have visual identity standards? Visual identity guidelines provide guidance for designing consistent collateral pieces for all of our touch-points (brochures, flyers, signs, videos, Web pages, multimedia presentations, etc.). They also assist printers, graphic designers, sign makers, advertising agencies and others who work with our organisation. Consistently applied and thoughtfully executed, visual identity standards help us build the Save the Children Australia brand. Each piece of communication – no matter how simple – sends a message that contributes to the reputation of Save the Children Australia.

Are visual identity standards the ‘brand’? No. Visual identity standards assist in forming a consistent impression of Save the Children Australia, but graphics are not in and of themselves the brand. They reflect our brand positioning: We save and protect children’s lives and strive to give every child a safe and happy childhood.

Whose responsibility are visual identity standards? Everyone’s. Maintaining brand consistency is the responsibility of the entire Save the Children Australia community. We all benefit from speaking in one voice.

I understand others must comply with visual identity standards, but do I? Yes.

Are there exceptions to visual identity standards? Almost never. On occasion, production issues, unusual formats or very unique circumstances require a deviation from our visual identity standards, but that is extremely rare and must be approved by General Manager – Fundraising, Marketing and Membership.

What does our new look mean? Our new visual identity represents these words: energetic, inspiring, fun, optimistic, modern, progressive, colourful, playful, child-focused, friendly, positive, and multicultural.*

Design 101 Good design is hard work. Having the latest graphic design program no more makes a designer than having a typewriter makes one John Marsden. Recognise you need professional assistance. Be careful not to confuse adherence to visual identity standards with good design. Before beginning a project, ask yourself ’Who is my audience?’ The most common design mistake among clients is confusing audience tastes and perspectives with one’s own. That is rarely the case. Who are you competing with? Your audience have more choices and busier lives than ever before. Cutting through the clutter is essential, and good design does that. Freelancers It is the responsibility of any employee who is contracting with printers, designers, graphic artists, photographers, merchandisers and Web designers to inform them of the Save the Children Australia’s visual identity guidelines and to make certain that the standards are applied to the materials being produced.

I have more questions, who do I talk to? Give Janosh Biczok a call +61 3 9452 1321.

How do I get my (designer’s) work approved? Give Janosh Biczok a call +61 3 9452 1321. *HATCH Brand Identity Testing report.

Colour is critical 19 June 2012 | Version 1 | Page 1 of 1

Colour is a powerful means of visual expression. It is therefore a key component when communicating the Save the Children Australia brand. The Save the Children Australia colour palettes are unique and, when used consistently, will help to differentiate and strengthen the brand.

The colours say safe and happy childhood loud and clear. Our colour palette is inspired by Australia’s red earth, blue sea, green rainforests, and yellow sun. They also pay tribute to the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander flags. Some standards for using our colours

Our colours help define our personality. We’re energetic, inspiring, optimistic, child-focused, friendly, and multicultural.

Remember that white space creates an uncluttered environment and helps reinforce key messages; however, too much may result in little contrast and energy. The correct balance should be sought between colour, text and graphics.

Never use colours outside of our palette. We do have a secondary colour scheme, these should only be used for subtle purposes and never outplay the key visual elements colour scheme.

The only exception to the above rule is for the use of black (from our logo colour scheme). Black is to be used with caution and care. Black may only be used when it’s unavoidable (rarely the case), if careful consideration shows it is necessary for a particular audience or message. See page 11 for more on this.

It is mandatory that the key visual element colours are featured in all designs (including the above).

Key elements 19 June 2012 | Version 1 | Page 1 of 6

Our brand’s visual identity is a flexible system of elements that represent ‘safe and happy childhood’. We are giving our four colour wet paint strip a starring role. That means it’s mandatory to put the strip on each page. There are plenty of ways of doing that. We’re keeping things flexible. But what you must do is make sure it looks like wet paint brush strokes, not fluff, nor fuzz, nor nasty vector brush effects. And keep the colours in order. Ta.

Treatment of the four colours The Save the Children Australia wet paint strip is constructed from four colours, painting with the Mixer Brush in Photoshop (new in 5.0).

:-)

The star of the show

Four colour wet paint strips The colour is set. We have spent a good deal of time working up these colours. It’s important for consistency that we stick to them. Four bars and that’s it. The bars only have four colours in them. Not five, not three, two or one. Always four. ‘Wet paint’ symbolises working together, creativity, adaptability and change, weaving in aspects of our values. Painting with vivid colour is something most of us do as children, and it brings back memories and associations of childhood.

:-)

There’s no need to recreate paint effects. There are plenty of existing elements and for consistency we’d prefer you use what exists. If you find the existing elements do not suit your purpose and you do need to create new artwork then you can. If you don’t know how to use the brush, don’t! Seriously though, it should still look like wet paint … or at least, wet-paint-ish. It’s not that difficult, but in case you missed what we’re getting at, we have some examples to the right of good paint effects and, well, rubbish ones (on the next page).

Sometimes, when full bleed isn’t possible this element can be really handy to represent our four colours. It’s also useful for calling out actions in publications. It’s not mandatory, just an option.

Standards for multi-colour Thanks frames are pretty simple. Do adjust the curvature, don’t just duplicate. They’re meant to look freehand, not uniform.

Kent is committed to improving the lives of children around the world and for every move that is booked through their website they’ll donate $10 to help children get a better start in life. They have guaranteed to raise at least $20,000 for Save the Children Australia in the next 12 months. Thank you Kent! Save the Children is proud to be working with Accenture in many areas around the world. They have recently strengthened their support of our work and have pledged $50,000 to help young Indigenous Australians in our Alternative Education program in Glebe, New South Wales. The donation will provide young people with the skills to gain further education and employment. We are delighted to team with Accenture and look forward to working with them as they provide positive role models for young people in Glebe.

Thank you to IKEA for another year of support through the annual Soft Toy Campaign, which continues to raise funds to give children around the world an education. For every IKEA Soft Toy purchased during November and December 2011, IKEA donated one euro to our global education programs. In Australia, IKEA stores also ran "give twice" activities, where customers could choose to give back the soft toy they'd purchased. The gifts were then given to children in Save the Children's programs around the country.

Basic shapes Sometimes, especially for invitations, we want to design something that looks pretty in an elegant way. Fortunately our brand’s graphic style is a flexible system of elements that visually represent ’safe and happy childhood.’ Using basic shapes is a great solution for a more sophisticated design. Make sure you use all of our colours, and don’t forget to use the mandatory four colour wet paint strip. It’s really easy to integrate our colours and the colour strip.

Iconography

A few pointers

We have developed a couple of styles for icons. Please try to stick with the look and feel of these for any new icon requirements.

Really simple. Don’t go reinventing the wheel.

Social media icons This series has a wet paint look to them, and include the e-shop icon. They do exist as vector art if you need to use them in large print such as on vehicles.

Make sure you stick to our four colours. Use wet-paint effect for any new social media icons. And keep new thematic icons in the same style.

Thematic icons This series was initially developed for our regular giving communications. They use our four colours and a simple hand-drawn style.

Photography as visual elements Photographic elements are great to use for interest. Do adjust so the colours match our colour palette.

We always credit the photographer for the photo, along with Save the Children Australia (or Save the Children if the photo was taken by a different Save the Children Member).

• C hoose your colour, though keep keylines white on a coloured background.

To frame, or not to frame? That is the question. Either is okay. There are guidelines in the box to the right.

• S ee page 35 for details on type styles for captions and credits. • W e like square images. That’s not always easy, especially for a hero image on an A4 page. But we do like square pics, so at least try, and at a minimum keep ancillary images square. That’ll make us happy.

Photography checklist part one

Our Image Policy is very important

• U se uplifting, outcome-oriented and positive imagery as much as possible (see table below).

If you are require further clarification on any of these points please refer to the full Image Policy. For a copy of the most recent Image Policy please contact Janosh Biczok +61 3 9452 1321.

• S how people in our programs as active participants, not passive recipients.

It’s critical to our organisation that you adhere to these guidelines. They are not open to negotiation.

• W here possible we should use images where people are looking directly into the camera.

Think about your message and audience

• S how diversity in the images you choose.

The message you are conveying and your audience will often dictate the type of image to use. Are you communicating to someone who has been supporting us for a while? They will most likely respond to uplifting and positive imagery showing outcomes (reflecting that their donations are making a difference). However, sometimes you may need to use images which show a clear need, for example a child who is malnourished in a food crisis. This is helping to educate the audience on the situation facing children in a particular place. In this instance, it is important not to sensationalise the situation – think about if the person visited this place themselves. Would this image be representative of what they would see?

:-(

What not to do

• U se images showing ‘need’ sparingly. Always be respectful and only use these images in context (ie. a food crisis). Do not use for general communications or in places where the context cannot be explained. • O btain consent before taking the photo. Cropping images e careful when cropping B images. In this instance, the photo in the yellow frame to the left shows a child being cared for by an adult (parent/doctor). The photo in blue has been cropped and could be interpreted as a child alone.

Photography checklist part two – what not to do

Captions and accompanying text

• D o not use images where the subject/s is naked or dressed inappropriately, particularly older children.

:-(

19 June 2012 | Version 1 | Page 3 of 4

Remember, images intended only to shock or attract attention do more damage than good. Where possible, show solutions and outcomes of our programs, not problems. Think also about the text accompanying the image. Ensure your text is always relevant to the photo. In more lengthy articles, ensure you explain the situation portrayed in the photo and how Save the Children is working with the family/situation. As a minimum, always have a short caption to explain the image. What not to do

:-(

:-(

What not to do

If the image is a cultural one (traditional dance where they are painted but with no clothes) use your discretion and check with program experts or local people to determine if the image is okay to print. • D o not use images showing people as passive recipients of aid. • D o not airbrush or alter images so it changes the context. • A void images that look manipulated.

What not to do

:-(

Don’t portray as passive recipients.

Photography continued 19 June 2012 | Version 1 | Page 4 of 4

Compliance, one more checklist Think about your image/s when answering the questions. Ensure you explain the situation portrayed in the photo and how Save the Children is working with the family/situation. As a minimum, always have a short caption to explain the photo.

RESPECT: Are images respecting the dignity of the people portrayed and encouraging respect for their way of life? Does this image respect the privacy of the individual(s) portrayed? Do you have consent from the individuals in the image to use this image? How would you feel if you were the subject of this image and you knew this image was being viewed by thousands of people? TRUTHFULNESS: Are the images and messages accurate, balanced and representative of reality, and therefore truthful? What is your intention in using this image? Are you seeking to manipulate the viewer or to portray the situation accurately? Does the image tell the whole story? Is it focusing on a narrow reality in a way that will cause the viewer/reader to generalise inappropriately about the situation? Does this image contribute to the public’s

understanding of the whole picture? Does this image portray or help to portray a balanced view of the situation/ region in question? INTEGRITY: Is ‘what we show’ the same as ‘what we know’ about life in the country, so that we are acting with integrity? What is your overall impression of the region after viewing this image? Based on what you know from our work, would this impression be accurate?

EQUALITY/ PARTNERSHIP: Are we promoting or discouraging equality between women and men? Is the vital role of our partners (eg: local NGOs) shown or mentioned in this image/text? What does this image say about our partner organisations and their work? Do you think this image would encourage empathy, as opposed to pity, in the viewer?

What is the impression given of the relationship between our workers and the communities/ people they are working with? Is this an accurate impression?

What message does the image convey about gender equality? Are women and men being shown as capable, active and involved in the development of their families and communities?

What aspects are missing from this picture? Does their absence contribute to an unrealistic or untruthful impression?

SUSTAINABILITY: Are we building support for long-term sustainable development?

Are the caption/text and image coherent? Or is the text saying one thing but the image leaving a different impression?

Visual Identity System – Design and style guidelines

What is this image saying about the aims of the development process? Does the image encourage a sense of interconnectedness and

interdependence between the viewer and the people in the image? Does the image convey a sense of hope? Does the image convey a sense of efficacy (the belief that people can make a difference)? Are local people being shown as active agents of their own development or as passive recipients, dependent on others? RECONCILIATION ACTION PLAN (RAP): Only use images that demonstrate respect and reflect the dignity for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. Images that perpetuate negative stereotypes should be avoided. Always check that photographs and art work do not include images of people who have passed away. If you are unsure, a disclaimer should be used. Please refer to the full Image Policy for details. For a copy of the most recent Image Policy please contact Janosh Biczok +61 3 9452 1321. 15

About our logo The logo – our name and the brandmark that goes with it – is the most valuable element of Save the Children Australia’s visual communications. Whenever the logo appears, people will immediately make a link between the accompanying message or activity and Save the Children Australia.

All our visual communications should include our whole logo, and you must follow these standards to ensure that we can protect our logo and make the most of its impact.

Using illustrations 19 June 2012 | Version 1 | Page 1 of 4

Using illustration adds variety and a unique dimension to the Save the Children Australia visual identity. When selecting which illustrations to use try to think of what is appropriate for the target audience. Easy does it, most of the time we should be using photos of children.

By adapting royalty free illustrations to our colours we can create an original visual language for our communications. The key to illustration is strong idea-based imagery, working with words to convey the message. Remember to recolour so that the illustrations become ours.

At the end of the day, use illustrations if they’re relevant to the subject. It really is about the target audience. The first two examples could have been used to promote ‘Swish’ (Stylish Women in Stylish Heals). A Gold Coast fundraising event for business women who are interested in fashion and shoes!

The four colour wet paint strip is one of the key elements used to identify the brand. Used in conjunction with our logotype and typography it keeps the Save the Children Australia brand clear in customers’ eyes, and differentiates it from our competitors. The four colour wet paint strip exists in several varieties. It’s mandatory for any design as it helps emphasise the core values of the brand. The following pages show you some examples of how it can be used. Use it as a headline underline, or bleeding off the page, with wet edges or straight edges.

especially colour and photography, it is important to distinguish between the different audiences we communicate with. Always keep in mind which market segment a design is meant to communicate with, and apply the most effective application possible. Business oriented communications will differ from materials for our beneficiaries and donor focused applications. Think about the audience and choose the best approach. Slightly different design styles are recommended for each audience, but overall we must look consistent and united as one brand.

Our visual identity system is flexible so when applying the Save the Children Australia brand’s graphic elements, Preferred logo

Each of these statements represents one of the first 42 articles of the convention. The Convention has 54 articles in total. Articles 43–54 are about how governments and international organisations should make sure children have access to their rights.

In 1923, Save the Children’s founder, Eglantyne Jebb, penned five directives she believed were the fundamental rights of every child. These later formed the basis for the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child.

Important Neighbourhood Numbers

By supporting Imagine, you’re giving Australian children the chance to grow. On behalf of Save the Children Australia, I’d like to thank you for becoming an Imagine Australia supporter. Like anything that grows, a child needs a nurturing environment and lots of care to reach their full potential. By donating a small amount every month, you’re giving a child a chance to grow and thrive, with everything they need to be happy, healthy, educated and safe. And with Imagine Australia, you’re helping kids in your own backyard.

Imagine where your support could go. Even though Australia generally enjoys wealth and a high standard of living, an alarming 12% of children are living below the poverty line. Many do not have access to basic rights such as education, health services and protection from violence and abuse. Imagine if you could change this.

Save the Children 1800 76 00 11

Save the Children is a worldwide organisation that advocates for the rights of children. Imagine Australia is a local initiative that has looked after things in our own backyard for over 50 years; so your donation remains close to home, while it goes a long way to helping Australian children.

Your donations will plant the seeds for a brighter Australia. Your donations are going towards our vision of an Australia where every child is safe, healthy, educated and happy – where they are able to grow and thrive. We work in disadvantaged, remote, rural, and urban areas in Australia and run a variety wof programs that focus on education and child protection.

We thank you for sharing our interest in the future of Australia’s children. We look forward to working towards a brighter future for children in Australia. With your support, Imagine how they’ll grow.

Thanks for helping out your Global Neighbours.

Yours sincerely,

Suzanne Dvorak Chief Executive

Dear Sam,

Welcome to the Global Neighbourhood. Whenever there’s a new neighbour in town, they deserve a warm welcome. So, on behalf of Save the Children, I’d like to welcome you to the neighbourhood. While your neighbours may live all over the world, through your ongoing support, you can always be there to lend a hand.

Giving our kids a chance to Grow. STC00455

Your support ends up in all kinds of neighbourhoods. As a Global Neighbour, your kind donations always go to the children who need it most – in Australia and around the world. For over 90 years Save the Children has been working in disadvantaged neighbourhoods in over 100 countries. Save the Children Australia currently work in countries such as Australia, Bangladesh, Cambodia, Laos, Papua New Guinea, Solomon Islands, Timor Leste, Vanuatu, Ethiopia and Nepal. We also support development programs through our global network in Asia, Africa and Latin America.

Our Global neighbourhood is getting bigger. Now that you’re in the neighbourhood, we can make an even bigger difference to the lives of children. Please find enclosed your supporter card displaying your supporter ID. It’s your official reminder of the important part you have as a Global Neighbour. You’ll also find another set of magnets for your fridge, this time, to hold a photo you love of family, friends or even your neighbours. It’s a small reminder that your support goes a long way, and it ends up in the neighbour that needs it most.

And brighter, thanks to you. We’d like to introduce you to some of your new neighbours with the enclosed booklet. Take some time to get to know them and read about just some of what we’re achieving with your support. Thanks to you, we can continue working towards our vision of a safe and happy childhood for all children.

...in our own backyard. Child Rights All of our work is underpinned by the United Nations Convention of the Rights of the Child, a global commitment by 194 nations to protecting children and young people under the age of 18. We recognise that children have rights to be listened to and to freely express their views on all matters that affect them. We work in partnership with community groups and government agencies across Australia to ensure child rights are fulfilled.

Early Childhood Care and Development Our Mobile Playscheme program provides opportunities for children under six to learn and play. Working in more than 90 community sites across Australia, Save the Children provides children and families with a safe and non-threatening environment to strengthen connections to their communities. Save the Children works with children from different backgrounds, and builds cognitive, physical and social skills to get children ready for school.

Yours sincerely, Parenting Support

It’s heartbreaking that in Australia more than 600,000 children have been directly affected by some form of abuse. Save the Children helps parents and caregivers develop skills to ensure Australian children are protected, happy and healthy. Through the delivery of parenting courses, community-based workshops and more personalised support, Save the Children works to intervene early and prevent the abuse and neglect of children in isolated and marginalised communities.

School Attendance Education gives Australian kids the best start in life. By supporting Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children, families and their communities, Save the Children helps to address learning difficulties and removes barriers related to nutrition, housing, culture and transport. Our innovative program works with children, families, community leaders, school teachers and principals to develop a Ready for School Plan to ensure children have every opportunity to improve literacy and numeracy at school.

Youth Engagement Our programs provide vulnerable young Australians with skills and opportunities to fully participate in community life. We work with young people who are disengaged from education, family or community life, or have come into contact with the law. Through informal education programs, Save the Children equips young people from marginalised communities across Australia with the tools and resilience they need to turn things around.

Izetter – a survivor. Little Izetter was one of the lucky ones who survived pneumonia. She was so sick that her wheezing, gasping breaths seemed to get faster by the minute. Thankfully, Izetter got the treatment she needed in time. She was taken straight to the nearest health clinic supported by Save the Children, where she was immediately diagnosed with pneumonia and given life-saving antibiotics.

Adapting materials 19 June 2012 | Version 1 | Page 1 of 1

Interpreting the international EVERYONE campaign materials We can easily adapt the materials produced by other Save the Children Members by replacing the colours and fonts as shown in the example below.

This was a quick adaptation. There are many other ways to interpret the international Everyone campaign materials into our guidelines.

We’re training and equipping HEALTH WORKERS to diagnose and treat childhood illnesses, provide lifesaving vaccines and deliver babies safely. As well as helping to train 400,000 ourselves, we’re part of a global campaign for millions more.

The key guidelines are: • E nsure our full logo (preferably the positive version red brandmark and black text) is featured on the page.

By 2015 we’ll:

• Include the mandatory four colour wet paint strip.

• have gained political and policy commitment by governments and donors to stop children and mothers dying

• Adjust fonts to Egyptienne URW and Myriad.

• be reaching 50 million young children and mothers a year through our health and nutrition work

We’re FUNDRAISING. We’re building partnerships with international corporations, governments and donors, and thousands of people are taking part in fundraising events around the world.

• have helped train 400,000 health workers and campaigned for millions more • have generated 60 million actions globally in support of the campaign • have raised US$2 billion for our work around the world.

We’re targeting under-fives, pregnant women and mothers in EMERGENCIES, when the risk of life-threatening illnesses such as diarrhoea, pneumonia and cholera increases dramatically.

We’ll have helped achieve MDGs 4 and 5, which would save the lives of 16 million children and mothers by 2015.

Education

Poverty, gender inequalities, isolation and disabilities continue to prevent children from accessing education. Whether at home or abroad, we work with children and young people, parents, schools, governments, community groups and service providers to improve learning outcomes.

With funding from AusAID, we began work in four districts of the highly volatile Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province. The program will reach out to 400 schools and 200,000 children, and progress our work with the Government to establish a national early childhood care and education system.

Pakistan

Australia

There are more than 7.1 million children aged between three and five years in Pakistan. Less than five million of these children will complete primary school and only half will grow up to be literate adults.

Our Playschemes provide early learning activities, games, education and parenting support for disadvantaged families and children under the age of six in more than 80 urban, regional and remote communities across Australia.

Launched in the second half of 2011, our Early Childhood Care and Education program has selected 160 schools for its first year. This includes around 24,000 students of whom more than 60% are girls.

• Caption: Myriad Pro Semibold. 9/11.5 pt with full stop.

Operating for more than 30 years, the program opened new sites this year in Greater Shepparton, Victoria and Kununurra, Western Australia, and extended to families

691,500 people reached through our education programs

in Villawood Immigration Detention Centre in Sydney. In 2012, a Playscheme will commence in south-east Perth. Working with Maari Ma Community Health and other groups in Wilcannia, New South Wales, our Playscheme is supporting families and preparing children for school. The staff of eight local women, the majority of whom are Aboriginal, have reported that parents are feeling more comfortable with structured play and learning, essential

for the transition into kindergarten. Also in New South Wales, our Glebe Pathways Project reaches marginalised young people through community-based learning after they have experienced difficulties at school and with the law. The program saw all eight Year 10 students graduate with their school certificates. Many have taken on further education or employment – achievements that all students, staff and supporters can be proud of.

Our School Attendance program has gone from strength to strength. We were recognised for our valuable contribution towards education in the Northern Territory in the NAB Schools First Impact Award for our partnership with Millner Primary School, Darwin. Save the Children Australia and four other community organisations are helping the school and community, by providing support to Aboriginal children and families to improve school participation and learning outcomes. Judges described the program as an excellent example of a partnership where everyone is working towards a common goal – to give disadvantaged children an education.

to work with schools and communities in providing children at risk of truancy with support, such as a nutritious breakfast, allowing them to participate regularly in school. In Broome, Save the Children Australia began managing Helping Young People Engage (HYPE), a community initiative that helps young people stay safe and avoid the justice system. Run in partnership with the Shire of Broome, the Broome Police, Youth Justice and the Department for Child Protection, program staff engage with at-risk young people on the streets of Broome during peak times of anti-social behaviour, and transport them to safer spaces.

Our School Attendance program has been expanded to Ceduna in South Australia

case study Kirsty and Seth’s story, Australia Two years ago, Kirsty received her child, Seth, back from foster care. She had limited parenting skills and was struggling to cope with two-year-old Seth. After being absent during his early years, Seth was difficult, displaying anger and violence towards Kirsty and others. Kirsty would yell when Seth acted up and, following her example, Seth would yell back. But, by attending our Playscheme, mother and child formed a more positive connection. Staff worked with Kirsty to establish a routine for her children that would prepare them for kinder and school. They helped her enforce “time-outs” and built her confidence as a parent. Through group activities with other children and families, Seth was introduced to sharing, taking turns and listening. Now aged four, Seth is much happier and more settled. He listens to his mother and can be reasoned with when things are calmly explained. Initially, attending kinder one day a week was difficult for Seth. But dropping back to half-days and returning to our Playscheme for a while helped him transition. Seth is now thriving at kinder.

Tone of voice 19 June 2012 | Version 1 | Page 1 of 1

In addition to a Save the Children Australia look and feel, there is a Save the Children Australia voice. This voice should find expression in all our communications. It should serve as the verbal or written language supporting our visual identity. The Save the Children Australia voice is credible, genuine, intelligent, accurate, positive, warm and approachable. It is persuasive, but never deceptive. It speaks clearly, using active verbs and familiar nouns. It doesn’t burden our audiences with awkward sentence structure, acronyms, ’development-speak’ or technical terms with which they may not be familiar. At the same time, it does not speak to them in a patronising tone. Instead, it treats our audiences as reasonable and intelligent people.

What is our voice? We are engaging thought leaders, who are: • informative, engaging and inspiring • optimistic, brave and compassionate • credible and intelligent • accurate, positive, warm and approachable • succinct and focused.

We need to have the voice of the child at the centre of everything we do Yes, but what does that mean? A good question. And the answer is not so easy. But in a nutshell, you need to make sure you do some good solid thinking before you start your project. Consider how we can integrate the thoughts and feelings of children. Are there quotes you can pepper throughout? Can you integrate quotes into the photography captions? Are there reports or case studies that offer an opportunity for a call-out box giving a child’s perspective? Sometimes it just won’t make sense, and that’s okay, but we need to try.

A consistent statement about us Save the Children is Australia’s leading independent emergency relief and development organisation for children. We save and protect children’s lives. We strive to give every child a safe and happy childhood. Globally, Save the Children works in 119 countries. In Australia, we work in every state and territory with programs in more than 90 locations.

Copy style in brief 19 June 2012 | Version 1 | Page 1 of 3 Copy writing 101

Children want you to:

Copy should be written using:

• l et them speak for themselves. They have an opinion to express.

• active and not passive sentences • p lain English, language should be clean, clear and concise • emphasis on benefits rather than features. Avoid:

• v alue their experience. They may be young, but they’ve already learned a lot about life. • treat them as equals. • take their opinions seriously.

• long sentences

If each bullet point consists of a complete sentence, give each an initial capital and a full stop. Common explanations given to children include:

• overuse of technical details

• She’s in hospital or on holiday.

• development-speak and acronyms, use plain English.

• He’s away working on an oil rig.

Structure

• He’s at college.

Headline – this should be intriguing but informative

Capitalisation

First line – this must clearly indicate the content of the copy

When prepositions appear in a title or headline, do not capitalise the first letter of those with three or fewer letters (eg. of, to, for, and, etc). Prepositions with four letters or more, begin with upper case (‘initial cap’) (eg. Through, Over, etc.).

• unnecessary adjectives and superlatives

Copy – this should contain an evocative description, a story, an engaging description what we are doing. The various sections and features must link together with short introductory texts, to ensure the communication flows smoothly and is perceived as a coherent whole. Further examples will be provided in the forthcoming Editorial Style Guidelines. Save the Children Australia Spell out all references to Save the Children, or Save the Children Australia. Do not use abbreviations such as Save, STC or SCA. In internal documents only, you may use SCA. Keep all three words – Save the Children – on the same line of type. Do not allow our name to be split up over two lines. Save the Children is a singular ie. Save the Children is… Not Save the Children are… Bullet points lists are easier to understand if they are laid out as bullet points rather than as continuous text. In a list of short bullet points, where the sense runs on from the text before the colon, do not use an initial capital or closing punctuation – except for a full stop at the end of the list. eg. The children said that adults: • never listened • did not give them responsibility • were out of touch. In a list of bullet points that include one or more complete sentences, insert full stops at the end of each sentence.

When citing the name of a magazine, newspaper or report, do not use initial caps for words such as ‘magazine’ or ‘the’ unless they are part of the name itself (eg. Newsweek magazine, State of the World’s Mothers report, The New York Times, etc.). Capitals are used at the beginning of each word of a full proper name, (eg. UN General Assembly) but not when the organisation is thereafter referred to in general (eg. the general assembly). Capitalise the names of specific foreign government bodies (eg. the Ethiopian Ministry of Health) but not when the term is used alone (eg. the ministry). When referring to specific Save the Children program names, capitalise the first letter of each word, but not the word program itself (eg. Village Schools program). When the same words are used but not as part of the program name, do not capitalise the first letters (eg. They established several village schools). Do not capitalise directions unless they are part of the geographic name (eg. the northwest part of the country, we headed west, East Timor, South Africa, etc.). Capitalise ‘Web’ when referring to the World Wide Web. Do not capitalise ‘website.’ Use italics for titles of books, reports, magazines and newspapers (eg. Crime and Punishment, State of the World’s Mothers, Time magazine, The Washington Post, etc.). Use italics for foreign words and phrases. Do not use underlines in place of italics (this convention is a relic of the days before typewriters were replaced by computers).

Copy style in brief continued 19 June 2012 | Version 1 | Page 2 of 3

Numbers Spell out numerals one through nine (eg. one, two, three, first, second, third). For 10 and above use numerals (eg. 10, 22, 83, 10th, 22nd, 83rd). Use numerals in front of number words (eg. 24 million, 1 billion.) Use numerals for rounded currency up to six digits long (eg. $1, $200, $3,000, $400,000, $1 million, $20 billion). Use numerals with words for currency under $1 (eg. 40 cents). Always use numerals with age, (eg. the boy was five years old) and insert hyphens when the age is used as an adjective (eg. five-year-old children). Numbers may be used alone when age is understood from the context (eg. children under five; the boy, seven, has a sister, nine). Spell out fractions, using hyphens between the words (eg. two-thirds, four-fifths). Mixed numbers follow the 1-9 rule (eg. six-and-a-half feet; 14½ years old). If large numbers need to be spelled out, use a hyphen to connect words ending in ‘y’ to another word (eg. twentyone, one hundred forty-three). Spell out a number when it begins a sentence; however, a numeral can be used at the beginning of a bulleted item. Numbers: When written as words, fractions and cardinal numbers consisting of two words are hyphenated (eg. two-thirds). Punctuation Ampersand (&): Do not use the symbol in place of the word ‘and’ unless it is part of a proper title or name (eg. the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation). Apostrophe: Use an apostrophe after the ‘s’ of a plural noun to indicate the possessive case (eg. their mothers’ health, the villagers’ program, etc.). Apostrophes are not used to indicate the plural of an acronym or phrase (eg. NGOs, ABCs, 1990s). Comma: Use a comma for specific date format (eg. April 7, 2002) but not for general date format (eg. April 2002). Do not use a comma to separate the last two items in a series unless it is needed for clarity (eg. oranges, bananas and apples; She ordered salad, roast chicken, and strawberries and cream).

Hyphen: Use a hyphen between numbers (eg. 5-10 percent) and between compound adjectives that modify a noun (eg. full-time job, well-known person) except when the noun follows the word ‘very’ or an adverb that ends in ‘-ly’ (eg. very strong wind; slowly moving river). Full stop: Sentences should be separated by one space after the full stop, not two. Use full stops without a space between capital letters for U.S. or U.K. when used as an adjective, unless the country is part of a company name or acronym (eg. US Airways, USDA). Spell out United States, or United Kingdom when it is used as a noun. Certain abbreviations or acronyms are always used without full stops (eg. UNICEF, UNHCR). Do not use full stops at the end of bulleted items unless they are complete sentences, or it is the final bullet in a list (as described earlier). Quotation marks: Put single quotation marks around the titles of chapters in books, articles in magazines and newspapers, television and radio shows, poems and songs. Do not put quotation marks around the names of books or other italicised titles. Use typographers single quotation marks. (eg. left ‘ and right ’ rather than a straight ' marks. When in doubt, here are a few helpful principles: Compound ideas and expressions: Two or more adjectives before a noun that act as one idea (one-thought adjectives) are connected with a hyphen (eg. It is a state-of-the-art program). Use a hyphen in expressions where words have become linked by usage to express one idea (eg. mother-in-law). Do not use a hyphen after an adverb ending with -ly (eg. carefully planned project). Use hyphens where two or more hyphenated compounds have a common basic element that is omitted in one or more of the terms (eg. three- or four-member committee). Use a hyphen in adjective compounds with a numerical first element (eg. 10-hour day). Comparatives and superlatives: Do not use a hyphen in a two-word modifier if the first element is a comparative or superlative – words like better, best, upper, higher, worst, lower and lowest (eg. lower income community members, best qualified candidate).

Dash : Use an en-dash ( – ) for an abrupt change of thought in a sentence or to set off words within a sentence that already uses commas to separate phrases. Use a space to separate the en-dash from the words on either side. Ellipsis: ( … ) If you can’t use a ellipsis character, use three full stops together, with a space separating the ellipsis from the words on either side (that is if the ellipsis indicates extracted text). If the ellipsis indicates a thought trailing off there is no space…

Do your text and photos reflect our image attributes and brand positioning to show how Save the Children Australia programs bring lasting change to children in need in the Australia and around the world?   Have you credited the photographer and/or the source of the photograph?   Is the voice clear, using active verbs and familiar nouns? Have you avoided jargon, ’development-speak,’ and technical terms which may be unfamiliar to our audiences?   Have you ensured the design is not crowded or busy looking by including plenty of white space?

Thank you to all our wonderful volunteers.

Are you using the right option – sentence case, Title Case, full stops, no full stops? Have you checked your headlines and subheadings for consistency?   Have you checked the kerning in headlines?

Full-stops or not?

Full stop or not?

Have you correctly used our full name – Save the Children Australia – throughout the document, not STC, SCA, Save or any other abbreviation? (SCA can be used in internal documents only.)

As a general rule, if your headline or subheadings are sentences, or statements, use a full stop. Be consistent throughout your document. If you are using headlines that don’t need a full stop, you don’t have to put them in. But be consistent. Same goes for title case versus sentence case. Consistency is key. If it’s a statement, sentence case is probably the best option.
