Translation team: what is translated, and how
Every page is written and approved in British English. Choosing another language in the top bar translates the page as you read it, using machine translation that is always labelled as such. This page shows exactly where each language stands, so nobody has to guess how reliable the wording is.
For anything that carries consequences — safeguarding, privacy, terms, assessment wording or a decision about a person — the British English version is the one that counts. Ask us for a checked translation before relying on a machine-translated page in those situations.
