Fact-Checking Policy

Our Commitment to Truth and Accuracy

At Strumace, we understand the importance of delivering reliable, up-to-date, and factual content—especially when it comes to government support programs that impact the daily lives of retirees, disabled individuals, and low-income households across the UK. Whether it’s updates on DWP, PIP, WASPI, or cost-of-living payments, our readers trust us to provide information they can depend on.

Information Sources

To ensure the integrity of our reporting, our editorial team sources information from:

  • Official UK government websites such as GOV.UK, DWP, and HMRC
  • Parliamentary releases and public policy announcements
  • Verified media outlets and nonpartisan research institutions
  • Government guidance documents and public records

We avoid using unverified blogs, social media posts, or opinion sources unless clearly marked and used for context.

Fact-Checking Process

Every article on Strumace goes through a multi-step verification process to ensure its accuracy before being published:

  1. Research: Writers collect data from credible and verified sources.
  2. Cross-Verification: Each fact, figure, or statement is confirmed using multiple reliable references.
  3. Editorial Review: Editors carefully review content to check for accuracy, clarity, and consistency.
  4. Final Approval: Only after passing internal checks does an article go live.

We prioritize plain-language summaries of complex policies to ensure our content is both accurate and accessible.

Continuous Monitoring and Updates

We actively monitor government changes, updates, and public announcements to ensure our content reflects the most current information. When a scheme is revised, a payment date changes, or eligibility rules are updated, we revise our articles accordingly.

We clearly indicate when major content updates have been made to maintain editorial transparency.

Corrections Policy

If an error is identified—whether by our editorial team or a reader—we promptly investigate and correct it. We are committed to transparency and will clearly update the affected content without altering the intent or misleading readers.

Readers are encouraged to report potential inaccuracies via our Contact page.

Editorial Integrity

Our fact-checking process is conducted independently and without outside influence. Strumace does not accept financial compensation, political incentives, or pressure from third parties that could compromise the factual accuracy or editorial objectivity of our content.

Policy Updates

This Fact-Checking Policy may be revised as needed to align with changes in our editorial operations or best practices. We encourage users to revisit this page periodically to understand how we maintain the accuracy and reliability of our content.
