Traceable guidance
Where do our facts come from, and how are corrections handled?
We name the official body behind important claims and link to the source page. If guidance changes or a claim is wrong, readers can send a correction for editorial review.
What makes a source authoritative?
It is published by the organisation that owns the rule, decision, programme or dataset. A recruiter is authoritative for its process; a regulator for registration; an employer for a particular vacancy; and a national body for its pay settlement.
How do we use secondary sources?
They can help explain context or identify questions, but they do not override the responsible official body. Where sources conflict, we prefer the primary decision-maker and say when an interpretation is ours.
How should you report a correction?
- Give the exact page URL or title
- Quote or summarise the claim that appears wrong
- Explain why it may be wrong or outdated
- Link to the strongest official source available
- Avoid sending personal, patient or confidential information
What happens after a report?
The editorial team checks the claim and source. We may correct the text, add scope, replace a link, remove an unsupported claim or explain why no change was made. Material time-sensitive updates should refresh the checked context.
Can a checked date guarantee a page is current?
No. It tells you when the editorial check was made. Always follow the named official link before acting on a deadline, vacancy, pay figure, application rule or registration requirement.
Which limitations should readers remember?
- This is independent general guidance, not an official recruitment service
- The site cannot confirm individual eligibility
- Cached vacancy data may lag the live employer page
- Historical competition data do not predict a future result
- Practice interview prompts are independently written, not official or recalled
Make a report useful
Can you point us to the exact claim and source?
That gives the editorial team the fastest route to a fair check and clear correction.
