Editorial policy

We use official sources, including GOV.UK, the NHS and the relevant national or local authority. Each guide shows its publication, update and facts checked dates.

We check factual claims against the linked sources, identify differences between UK nations and distinguish confirmed rules from uncertain details. Source lists record individual checked dates. Updates do not automatically mean every fact has been rechecked.

If we find an error, we correct the affected text and update the relevant dates. Contact details for reporting corrections are coming soon. Until then, use the official source to confirm any detail that appears inconsistent.
