Governmentportal.org aims to provide accurate, useful and up-to-date information.
However, errors can occasionally occur during the reporting, editing or updating of information. Our Corrections Policy explains how we handle factual errors and significant changes.
Our Commitment to Accuracy
We make reasonable efforts to verify information before publication.
When we identify a significant factual error, we review the affected article and make an appropriate correction.
Corrections may relate to:
- Incorrect dates
- Incorrect eligibility requirements
- Incorrect application information
- Incorrect amounts or figures
- Incorrect names or organisations
- Incorrect locations
- Misleading statements
- Broken or incorrect application information
- Other material factual errors
How to Report an Error
Readers can report a potential error by contacting our editorial team.
Please include:
- The article URL.

- The correct information.
- Supporting evidence or a reliable source, where available.
How Corrections Are Made
After receiving a correction request, our editorial team may:
- Review the original information.
- Check available source material.
- Compare the information with relevant official information.
- Contact a relevant organisation when appropriate.
- Correct the article when an error is confirmed.
Minor spelling, grammar or formatting corrections may be made without a separate correction notice.
Significant factual corrections may be accompanied by an editorial note or update statement where appropriate.
Updates to Time-Sensitive Articles
Government, employment, education and application information can change.
When important information changes, we may update the article to reflect the latest available information.
This may include:
- Closing dates
- Application instructions
- Eligibility requirements
- Stipend information
- Locations
- Programme availability
- Government announcements
Readers should always check the latest information before submitting an application or making an important decision.
Reader Feedback
We value reports from readers because they can help us identify information that requires review.
