đź“° Editorial Policy
Our Editorial Commitment
At UK-Safety.News, we are committed to delivering accurate, balanced, and timely information about workplace safety, health, and incident awareness across the United Kingdom.
Every article we publish follows our editorial standards of accuracy, independence, and integrity — ensuring readers can trust the information we share.
1. Accuracy and Verification
We take great care to confirm the facts in every story before publication.
-
All information is verified against credible sources such as the Health and Safety Executive (HSE), police statements, local authorities, or official court documents.
-
When incidents are reported via third-party news outlets, we cross-check details before referencing or quoting.
-
We avoid speculation — every statement of fact is attributed to a verifiable source.
-
If new evidence emerges that changes a story, we update articles promptly with a correction or clarification notice.
2. Independence and Editorial Integrity
UK-Safety.News operates as an independent publication.
We are not influenced by advertisers, sponsors, or external agencies in our editorial decisions.
-
Sponsored content is clearly labelled as “Sponsored” or “Advertorial.”
-
Our editorial team maintains full control over headlines, tone, and coverage decisions.
-
We do not accept compensation in exchange for coverage, and we never publish unmarked press releases as news stories.
Our independence allows us to focus solely on accuracy, public awareness, and promoting a culture of safety across all UK industries.
3. Expertise and Authorship
All editorial content is written or reviewed by professionals with experience in safety, communications, or journalism.
-
Articles carry the byline of their author or editor, with background information provided in the author bio section.
-
Guest contributions are accepted only from verified safety practitioners or recognised specialists.
-
Each submission is edited and fact-checked by our in-house team before publication.
This ensures every piece reflects both subject-matter understanding and editorial quality.
4. Fairness and Balance
We believe in reporting incidents and regulatory changes objectively, without sensationalism or bias.
-
Where an individual or organisation is named, we seek their comment or include an official statement where possible.
-
We avoid assumptions or language that may unfairly assign blame or speculate on causes.
-
Our coverage focuses on what can be learned, not just what occurred.
If a party feels they have been misrepresented in our coverage, they are encouraged to contact the editorial desk for review or correction.
5. Transparency and Corrections
If we discover an error, we correct it promptly and transparently.
-
Minor factual updates are noted within the article.
-
Significant corrections are acknowledged at the bottom of the page, with a timestamp.
-
Readers can submit corrections by emailing editor@uk-safety.news with supporting evidence or source documentation.
We appreciate feedback from readers that helps us maintain our standards of reliability and integrity.
6. AI and Automation Disclosure
All editorial content on UK-Safety.News is written and reviewed by human editors.
AI tools may occasionally be used for research assistance, formatting, or grammar checking — but never to generate or publish unverified stories.
Every article is fact-checked and approved by a human editor before going live.
This policy ensures our content remains transparent, trustworthy, and aligned with AdSense content-quality guidelines.
7. Privacy and Sensitivity
When covering incidents involving injury or loss of life, we handle information with the utmost respect and care.
-
Personal details are not published unless already in the public domain or confirmed by official sources.
-
We avoid publishing distressing or graphic material.
-
We follow IPSO and UK journalism ethical standards in reporting sensitive events.
Our priority is always public safety awareness, not sensationalism.
