How we handle it
- We publish only what the source record actually states. We never derive a status, designation or eligibility the data does not assert.
- Every data page shows the dataset, publisher, licence and the time we retrieved it.
- If data is older than we can stand behind, we show nothing rather than showing it as current.
- These pages are assembled from the sources above. They are not summaries of another news organisation’s reporting.
