Editorial policy

We aim to make every piece clear, fair and useful to a general reader. Our subject is shared life and participation, so we take care not to present one person's preference as a rule for everyone.

Accuracy and clarity

We check factual statements against suitable material before publication and distinguish general explanation from opinion. We avoid overstating what a suggestion can do. Where a topic has limits or depends on context, we say so plainly rather than implying that one approach works for every group.

Independence

Editorial choices are guided by relevance to the publication's subject and usefulness to readers. Partners do not determine our conclusions or receive a promise of favourable coverage. Any material created with a partner is identified clearly so readers can see its nature.

Corrections

If a reader spots an error or unclear passage, they can send details through the Contact page. We review the concern and amend published material when warranted, making the correction clear when the change affects a reader's understanding.

Images and illustrations

Some illustrations may be generated with artificial intelligence. We do not present illustrative images as documentary evidence, and we take care that images do not imply a real person, event or setting where none is intended.
