Editorial policy

Lasting Policy Review aims to make public policy processes clearer while being careful about what the available material can support. This policy sets out how we handle accuracy, independence, corrections and partner material.

Accuracy and clarity

We check factual statements against suitable source material and take care to distinguish documented information, interpretation and opinion. Articles should explain relevant context, define specialist terms and avoid presenting a policy announcement as proof of what has been carried out or achieved. When a point is uncertain or contested, the wording should make that clear.

Editorial independence

Editorial decisions, including topic selection, conclusions and corrections, remain separate from commercial arrangements. A collaboration does not guarantee coverage or influence our assessment. We do not present a partner's claims as independent editorial conclusions.

Corrections

If you believe an article contains an error or needs important context, please contact us with the relevant passage and, where possible, material that helps explain the issue. We review concerns and make appropriate corrections or clarifications. Changes should improve the reader's understanding rather than quietly obscure a substantive revision.

Partner material and illustrations

Paid, sponsored or otherwise partner-supported material is clearly labelled so readers can distinguish it from editorial work. Partner placements are labelled as well. Some illustrations may be generated with artificial intelligence; where that is the case, we identify them as AI-generated.
