The clinicians who read every word before you do.
These are the people whose job is to say 'no, rewrite that.' They review every clinical page on Seen before it goes live.
How the board works
Every clinical page on Seen is reviewed by at least two members of the editorial board before it's published. One of those reviewers must be a clinician whose active practice is in the relevant field — if we're writing about ADHD, a paediatrician or psychologist with ADHD experience is in the approval chain.
Any parent who emails the board with a question about our content gets a response within three business days. The board meets monthly to discuss content gaps, emerging research, and changes to clinical pathways or service access in Australia.
Board members recuse themselves from reviewing content that touches their own clinic or a conflict of interest. No one on the board owns shares in Seen. No one is paid based on approval rate. Their job is to protect the clinical integrity of the service.

What sign-off looks like
Our editorial workflow is simple. A clinical page is drafted, then sent to two reviewers from the board. Those reviewers read it against current clinical guidelines, parent safety, and alignment with the Seen voice. They may approve it, request revisions, or decline publication until changes are made.
Once approved, the page is published with the reviewer initials and date at the top, so parents and clinicians can see who read it and when. We update pages quarterly, or sooner if guidelines change. Full detail on our editorial process — including how we handle research, conflicts of interest, and clinician attribution — is on the editorial standards page.
Conflicts of interest
Every board member's financial and professional interests are disclosed. No board member owns equity or shares in Seen. No board member's income from the board is dependent on approval rates — they are paid a flat market rate for their time, regardless of how many pages they approve or decline.
If a page touches a board member's own clinic, practice, or a service they have a financial stake in, they step out of the review. We assume all clinicians are doing this work because they believe in the mission, not because they benefit from the outcomes.
