Quality
- We will strive to be as accurate as possible given the time and resources available
- We will aim to be as fair and objective as we can
- We will seek as many sources as we can and distinguish between comment, conjecture and fact
- We will ensure all posts are edited by a person other than the author before publication
- We will solicit contributions from writers and practitioners of a high standard and expect them to abide by these principles
Transparency
- Where a source can be attributed, we will attribute it
- Where a source can be linked to, we will link to it
- Where we have an interest to declare, such as a relationship with the subject of a blogpost, we will declare it
Accountability
- Where we have made a mistake, we will correct it and make clear that a mistake has been corrected
- We welcome comments on blogposts and encourage free discussion, but reserve the right to remove offensive, libellous and otherwise unsuitable contributions
- Full contact details can be found on our contacts page
