- 01
Receive
A report identifies the page, disputed statement, supporting evidence, and requested correction.
- 02
Investigate
The source, date, context, code behavior, and effect on the article's conclusion are reviewed.
- 03
Correct
Confirmed errors are fixed in the page, structured data, downloadable files, and related summaries where applicable.
- 04
Disclose
Substantive changes receive an updated date and a correction note describing what changed.
What receives a correction note
- incorrect legal, regulatory, standards, deadline, or enforcement information;
- incorrect technical instructions that could create an accessibility barrier;
- materially wrong statistics, calculations, attribution, or dataset interpretation;
- changes that alter the conclusion, recommendation, or risk described;
- incorrect authorship, quotation, or conflict-of-interest disclosure.
Minor changes
Spelling, punctuation, formatting, broken-link replacement, and wording changes that do not alter meaning may be fixed without a correction note. The reviewed date may still be updated when a page receives a substantive editorial review.
How corrections are displayed
A substantive correction should appear close to the affected content or in a clearly labelled note that identifies the original error, the corrected information, and the correction date. Downloadable reports are versioned when their substantive content changes.
Response target
We aim to acknowledge a well-supported correction request within two business days. Complex legal or technical matters may require additional review. Urgent safety, accessibility, or active-deadline errors are prioritized.
