Is the following a full statement of Wikipedia's Child Protection Policy, reflecting all responsibilities that the Wikipedia community and the Wikimedia Foundation have taken on to protect children in all of the projects they are involved with and/or sponsor?

Are there any other *published* policies of WP or the WMF pertaining to child protection that I might have missed?
I know that this is a very politically charged issue in the WP community. I'd appreciate a high light:heat ratio if anyone has comments beyond links to current policy statements.
Thanks! ,Wil
English Wikipedia policy: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Child_protection
The existence of a 'formalized' policy has been a topic of heated debate since its creation, although there is some truth that its original form more or less documented existing practice at the time.

Just noting in addition that on the left side of the page there are "language" links to four similar policies on other Wikipedias: Catalan, Indonesian, Persian and Ukrainian. Since few other Wikipedias have active Arbitration Committees and each existing arbcom has a different scope, it's pretty clear that processes and policies would vary from project to project.
