Public-record reading checks

Use these before relying on a deadline, decision, meeting note or official wording.

Start with the topic hubUse the route that matches the record type before searching every dated issue.
Keep source names attachedDo not separate a summary from the public body, outlet, source page or original document route.
Check deadlines twiceTender closes, meeting dates, consultation windows and event times can change after publication.
Use corrections for gapsIf a link, date, source label or plain-English summary looks wrong, send the public page URL and the source evidence.

Proof routes

When a record needs checking, these routes keep the issue date, source context and correction path close.

Found a public-record gap?

Send the issue URL, the public source link and what needs correcting. That gives the archive enough context to be fixed cleanly.
