Corrections
Tell us a figure is wrong
This site publishes several thousand numbers compiled from 27 separate sources, and joining datasets together produces errors that no single publisher would make. The dataset behind these pages was built 3 September 2026. If something here is wrong, this is how to get it changed.
What makes a correction easy to act on
The single most useful thing you can send is the page address. Almost every page here is generated from a template, so the same wrong value often appears on several pages at once — a course listed under the wrong nation shows up in the course finder, the university page, the regional listing and a comparison. Knowing which page you were looking at is what makes it possible to find the record rather than the symptom.
The second most useful thing is a link to the published source that says otherwise. This site cannot publish a figure it cannot trace, which cuts both ways: it will not invent one, and it cannot replace one on the strength of an assertion. A regulator’s approved-programme entry, a university’s own course page, a pay circular or a scheme’s published rules will all do. If you are the publisher of the original data, say so — that is the fastest correction there is.
Finally, tell us what the page currently says as well as what it should say. Data refreshes between the moment you read a page and the moment anyone looks at your email, and the before-and-after is what makes it obvious whether the error is still present or was fixed by a refresh in the meantime.
What to include
- The page
- The full address of the page you were reading.
- The figure
- Which number or statement is wrong — a table cell, a stat tile, a sentence.
- What it says now
- Copied exactly, so a refresh in between is easy to spot.
- What it should say
- The value you believe is correct, and the period or year it applies to.
- Your source
- A link to where the correct value is published. Optional, but it is what turns a report into a change.
- Your role
- Optional. If you work for the publisher, the university or the employer concerned, saying so moves it up the queue.
What happens next
Your email is read and the record behind the page is checked against the source it cites. One of three things then happens. If the source has changed and this site has not caught up, the correction is applied at the next dataset refresh and the page carries the new build date. If the site has misread or mismapped the source — the more serious case, because it usually affects a whole family of pages — the pipeline is fixed rather than the page, and every page derived from that record changes at once.
If the source genuinely does say what the page says, nothing changes, and you get told that along with the link so you can take it up with the publisher. That third outcome is more common than you might expect: a fair number of apparent errors on this site are faithful reproductions of an error, or of an ambiguity, in the original open data.
Where a figure covers several professions at once, or a register keeps one count for a family of roles, the page is supposed to say so rather than splitting it. If you find a page that presents a shared figure as though it belonged to one profession, that is a reporting error worth sending in even though the number itself is right.
Things this page cannot fix
Requests to be listed higher
Ordering on every listing page follows a stated rule and there is no paid placement to buy. A request to move up will not be actioned; a report that the stated rule has been applied wrongly will be.
Admissions and application questions
Entry requirements, offers and interview outcomes are the university’s, not ours. The course pages link to the provider — that link is the right place to ask.
Eligibility for funding
This site reproduces published scheme rules; it cannot tell you whether you personally qualify. The funding pages link to each administering body, which can.
Missing data
A field showing “not published” is not an error — it means the source does not publish it. If you know of a published source that does, that is a genuinely useful thing to send.
Common questions
Is there a form?
No. This site is a set of static pages with no backend, so there is nothing for a form to submit to. Corrections go to corrections@alliedhealthprofessions.co.uk, which is read by a person.
What if I do not have a source?
Send it anyway. A correction without a source still gets checked; it just takes longer, because nothing on the site can change until a published source can be pointed at.
Will you take my course down if I ask?
Only if the regulator’s published list no longer shows it as approved, or if it never did. Course listings are a reflection of the approved-programme data, not an endorsement, and removing an approved course on request would make the list wrong for applicants.
How long does a correction take?
A correction that a published source supports is normally applied at the next dataset refresh. A correction that needs the pipeline changed — a mapping error affecting many pages, for example — takes longer, and you will be told which of the two it is.
