Wheelchairs Lightweight aims to publish practical, accurate and transparent information that helps UK readers understand their options. This policy sets the standards applied to buying guides, reviews and comparison lists.
Accuracy and sourcing
Material factual claims should be supported by identifiable sources such as manufacturer instructions, technical data, conformity information, public-sector guidance or direct testing records. Important specifications are checked against more than one source where practical. Uncertainty and conflicting information are stated rather than concealed.
Testing claims
We do not describe a product as tested unless it has been physically assessed. Research-based reviews clearly say that they are based on published information. Photographs, measurements, dates and test conditions are retained where hands-on testing informs a recommendation.
Health and safety
Editorial content is general information, not a personal clinical assessment. Articles avoid diagnosing conditions or promising outcomes. Readers with complex posture, pressure-care, transfer or mobility needs are encouraged to seek appropriately qualified advice.
Independence and conflicts
Writers and reviewers should disclose relevant commercial, professional or personal relationships. Free samples, loans, sponsorship and affiliate links are disclosed. Manufacturers and retailers may be invited to correct factual errors but do not receive editorial approval.
Corrections
Substantive errors are corrected promptly. A correction note is added when a change could alter a reader’s understanding or a product’s position. Minor spelling, formatting and clarity edits may be made without a note.
Review cycle
Priority buying guides and rankings are reviewed when specifications, availability, safety information or market conditions materially change. Each substantial review records the date checked and the sources consulted.
