Editorial Policy

Last updated: July 13, 2026

Our standards

Every article is written by a named human author, fact-checked against primary sources where possible, and reviewed by an editor before publication. We do not publish AI-generated articles under a human byline.

Sourcing

Where we describe health, safety or child-development guidance, we describe the current mainstream position of recognised bodies and we say plainly when evidence is limited, contested or evolving. We avoid presenting single studies as settled fact.

Corrections

If we get something wrong, we fix it and say so. Corrections are noted at the foot of the article with the date. To report an error, email [email protected] with the article link.

Independence

Advertisers and affiliate partners have no influence over editorial decisions, do not see articles before publication, and cannot request changes or removals. Sponsored content, if we ever publish it, will be clearly labelled as such on the page.

Updates

Guidance changes. We review our health, safety and money articles at least annually and update them, changing the "last updated" date when we do.
