Editorial Policy

This policy explains how Tied Across Borders C.I.C. researches, reviews and publishes information, stories and lived-experience contributions.

Accuracy

• We aim to make every factual statement accurate and, where possible, link to the source.

• Information about laws, services and procedures can change and differs between countries. We date our resources and review them regularly.

• Our content is general information. It is not legal, medical or therapeutic advice.

Professional review

Practical guides on legal, safeguarding or specialist topics are reviewed by someone with relevant professional expertise before publication. Where a resource has not yet been reviewed, we say so.

Illustrative scenarios

Some pages use illustrative scenarios to explain how cross-border control can work. These are clearly labelled and do not describe real individuals.

Lived-experience contributions

• Contributions are always voluntary.

• We will not publish anything that could identify a person, or anyone else involved, without their clear and informed consent.

• We remove names, places and details that could identify children.

• Contributors can ask us to withdraw their contribution at any time. We will remove it from our website as quickly as we can, though we cannot control copies made by others.

• We will not publish allegations about identifiable people.

Independence

Our editorial decisions are our own. Funders, sponsors and partners do not control what we publish. Where content is funded or produced in partnership, we will say so.

Corrections

If you think something we have published is inaccurate, out of date or harmful, email contact@tiedacrossborders.org. We will review it and correct it promptly where needed.
