Sources we read

We quote published guidance rather than paraphrasing it, and we open every source before we cite it. Each entry below carries the date it was read.

How we use them

A quotation on this site is checked against the saved text of the source, character for character, every time the site is built. If the wording drifts, the build stops.

We cite guidance where the subject touches health or safety and where the public body has said it better than we could. We do not cite a source to borrow its authority for a claim it does not make.
