How it is built, by role
The same roles apply across the whole collection. Nothing in this block is specific to this site; what the site says about itself is quoted word for word below it.
- 1
Edge network
Visitors reach a site through an edge layer: a content delivery network with a web application firewall in front of it.
- 2
Application host
The edge talks to an application host that serves the site and renders its pages.
- 3
Data
What the pages show comes from a relational database or, for a site pre-rendered at build time, from data files built into its release.
- 4
Scheduled measurement
The collection measures its sites on a schedule: content dates and site health nightly, page counts read from each site’s sitemap weekly. Every reading is kept with its date. A site too large to re-walk is not re-measured, and shows no trend.
- 5
Public status feed
A monitoring panel sends a signed report on uptime, deploys and backups once a day, and the Operations page publishes it. A figure on this page that comes from that report says so.
In the site's own words
Each passage is copied unaltered from a page the site publishes, with the address it was taken from and the date we took it. We add nothing between them.
“Civil Help is a free, independent UK information portal that helps people understand their rights, eligibility, complaint routes, support options, obligations, deadlines, forms, and next steps.”
“Each guide is researched directly from UK legislation, statutory instruments, official codes of practice, regulator guidance, and ombudsman scheme rules — not aggregated from secondary sources.”
“Figures, deadlines, and processes are verified against the body that operates them — for example, GOV.UK and DWP for benefits, HMRC for tax, the FCA and Financial Ombudsman Service for financial services, ACAS for employment disputes, the ICO for data protection, the Home Office and UKVI for immigration, the Solicitors Regulation Authority and Legal Ombudsman for legal services.”
“Drafts are rewritten to remove jargon and to explain UK statutory concepts in language a non-specialist can act on.”
“Every guide carries a visible last-reviewed date and a target next-review date.”
“Guides covering rates that change each April (NMW, SSP, benefit rates, tax thresholds) are reviewed annually as a hard deadline.”
“We treat correction requests as a priority and aim to update the live guide within 14 days, with a note in our changelog.”
“16 branching decision trees that walk users to the right route, scheme, or process.”
