Who writes our content
Our guides are produced by experienced legal writers working closely with qualified UK solicitors. Writers are briefed on the topic, relevant statutes, and recent case law before drafting. Every guide is then handed to a solicitor for technical review.
Rick Gregory — SEO Consultant
Rick Gregory has worked in legal and financial sector SEO for over a decade, producing plain-English guidance on UK personal injury law, employment law, and financial claims. He collaborates with regulated solicitors at Edward & Amaury Limited to ensure that every factual legal claim on WorkClaim UK is checked against primary sources before publication.
Sources we use
All legal and factual claims on WorkClaim UK are referenced against:
- UK primary legislation — Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974, Limitation Act 1980, Employment Rights Act 1996, and all relevant statutory instruments cited in individual guides
- HSE guidance — hse.gov.uk for statistics, regulatory guidance, and enforcement data
- Judicial College Guidelines — 17th edition (April 2024) for all compensation bracket ranges
- SRA and legal regulatory sources — for firm details, regulatory requirements, and claims process information
- GOV.UK — for statutory sick pay rates, RIDDOR requirements, and employment entitlements
We do not use AI to generate legal facts. All legal claims are written and verified by a human author.
How content is reviewed
Each piece of legal information goes through the following review process before it is published:
- Research. The writer identifies the controlling statute, regulation or pre-action protocol, plus relevant case law where applicable.
- Drafting. The guide is drafted in plain English, with technical terms defined or linked to our glossary.
- Solicitor review. A qualified UK solicitor reviews the draft for legal accuracy, balance, and tone. Any guidance that could be misleading is rewritten.
- Editorial sign-off. A senior editor checks for clarity, structure, and consistency with the rest of the site.
- Publication. The guide is published with a "Last reviewed" date and reviewer credit.
What our review covers
- Accuracy of statutes, time limits and procedural rules cited
- Correct use of legal terminology
- Whether the guidance reflects current SRA conduct rules
- Balance — we present both strengths and risks of bringing a claim
- Plain-English explanations suitable for a non-lawyer audience
Update policy
We review our content on a rolling basis and immediately update any page when:
- A relevant statute, regulation or pre-action protocol changes
- A significant appellate decision affects the guidance
- SRA, ICO or Legal Ombudsman guidance is updated
- A reader flags an inaccuracy through our complaints process
Each page displays a "Last reviewed" date so you can see when the guidance was last checked.
No paid influence
WorkClaim UK does not accept payment in exchange for editorial coverage, recommendations, or favourable wording in our guides. Our editorial team operates independently of any commercial relationship. Where we may receive a referral fee for connecting users with a regulated solicitor, this never affects the content of our guides or which firms our editors are willing to recommend.
Corrections
If you believe any information on this site is inaccurate, please tell us via our complaints procedure. We aim to review and respond to corrections within 10 working days.
