How specialist review is identified

Authorship and responsibility

Louise Simon leads the website’s editorial direction. Her background is described on the About page.

Editorial leadership and independent specialist review are separate roles. The site identifies its editorial lead and states when no independent specialist reviewer has been named.

Current review status

The website currently names Louise Simon as editorial lead. No independent subject-matter specialist has been named as a reviewer of its guides. An update date or a link to an official source indicates neither specialist review nor endorsement.

If independent specialist review takes place, the relevant guide will identify the reviewer, their relevant role or qualifications, what they reviewed and the review date. Until then, readers should check important details with the responsible agency and seek advice appropriate to their circumstances.

Use the information thoughtfully

Check current requirements with the official organisation responsible for the service. Speak with an appropriate professional when a decision depends on health, legal or financial circumstances.
