Editorial standards

Our editorial standards keep content consistent, respectful, and evidence‑informed across UK and US locales.

Last reviewed:16 Jan 2026Next review due:15 Jul 2026

We review evidence regularly to keep guidance current and appropriate for educational use.

Tone and language

  • Neurodiversity‑affirming, respectful, and practical language.
  • Plain‑English summaries alongside deeper explanations.
  • Accessible phrasing that avoids jargon where possible.

Claims rules

  • Avoid “treat”, “cure”, or “diagnose” language.
  • Prefer “may help”, “can support”, and “people often find”.
  • Highlight uncertainty if evidence is mixed.

Content templates

  • Pillar pages: broad overviews with clear signposting.
  • Guides: step‑by‑step educational routines with evidence notes.
  • Tools: on‑page usage instructions and safety disclaimers.

Duplication policy

We avoid duplicating content across pages unless localisation or audience needs require it. When content overlaps, we link to a primary source page.

UK/US localisation

We adapt spelling, terminology, and local references (e.g., SEND/SENCO in the UK and IEP/504 in the US) while keeping the educational intent consistent.
