Corrections policy
What we do when a story contains an error, and how you can let us know.
What we correct
We correct any factual error as soon as we confirm it: a figure, a date, a deadline, the name of a rule or of a public body. We also update a story when the rule or fact it covers changes after publication.
How we say so
When a correction changes the meaning or a fact of the story, we explain it in a note at the end of the text: what it said, what it says now and when it changed. The date and time of the last update appear next to the publication ones. Typos that do not change the content are fixed without a note.
What we do not do
We do not delete a story to hide an error. If a piece stops being valid, it is updated and we say why.
How to let us know
Write to us through the contact page naming the story and the fact you believe is wrong, with the source if you have it. We review every report and reply to anyone who leaves a way to reach them.
