How we verify programme information

Source order

We begin with the administering body: a government department, statutory body, official programme operator or commercial provider. Application guides and dated notices take priority over marketing summaries. Third-party articles may help us find a question, but they do not settle eligibility.

Every programme note includes direct source links and a review date. Where an old programme has changed name or closed, the page says so near the top rather than hiding the change in a footnote.

Editorial checks

We check programme status, applicant type, location requirements, project timing, support structure and the meaning of any headline maximum. We avoid stating that an applicant is eligible because approval depends on facts we cannot examine.

Corrections are made in place. Material changes are described in the article so a returning reader can understand what moved.

Review cadence

High-change pages are reviewed when an operator publishes a notice or a known deadline approaches. Other pages are scheduled for periodic review. Readers should still open the official source immediately before committing money or signing a supplier contract.
