Independence

Commercial disclosure

Directory inclusion and ordering are not for sale.

If commercial links are introduced

Any affiliate or sponsored relationship must be labelled where the link appears. Payment must not change factual descriptions, source requirements, inclusion rules, corrections or alphabetical ordering.

What “independent” means here

  • Providers do not approve the editorial record before publication.
  • Unknown facts remain unknown rather than being filled with marketing claims.
  • Commercial status is recorded separately from research evidence.
  • A provider can submit a primary-source correction but cannot purchase a favourable conclusion.

Portfolio relationship

Young Driver Club and ProvisionalDriver are related information-only directory products using a common registry approach. Cross-links are editorial handovers between learner and post-test journeys, not insurance introductions.
