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.
