How We Work

Editorial Standards

Every guide on WorkClaim UK is researched against current UK law, written in plain English, reviewed by a qualified solicitor before publication, and updated whenever the law or guidance changes.

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.

How content is reviewed

Each piece of legal information goes through the following review process before it is published:

  1. Research. The writer identifies the controlling statute, regulation or pre-action protocol, plus relevant case law where applicable.
  2. Drafting. The guide is drafted in plain English, with technical terms defined or linked to our glossary.
  3. Solicitor review. A qualified UK solicitor reviews the draft for legal accuracy, balance, and tone. Any guidance that could be misleading is rewritten.
  4. Editorial sign-off. A senior editor checks for clarity, structure, and consistency with the rest of the site.
  5. 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.
