Editorial accountability
Corrections and updates
TheLearnDen aims to describe and match learning resources accurately. External pages can change, links can break and our own wording can need correction. Reports help the Editorial Team review the evidence and put the public page right.
What to report
- A link that is broken, unavailable or redirects somewhere unexpected.
- A resource that is not relevant, is too easy or difficult, or is described inaccurately.
- An unexpected login, payment request or access restriction.
- Material that appears inappropriate, unsafe, misleading or asks a child for personal information.
- Factual guidance or a visible checked date that is no longer current.
How to report a problem
On a resource card, choose Needs improvement, select the closest reason and send it privately for review. You may also suggest a better free resource. For a correction elsewhere on the site, use the editorial contact page.
Do not include a child’s name, school, contact details or other identifying information. If a linked resource may be unsafe, close it and follow the safeguarding guidance.
What happens next
The report enters a private review queue. We check the current public page and the underlying learning context, then verify the concern against the source itself. A confirmed problem may lead to corrected wording, a replacement or removed link, an updated review state, or a wider source check. Suggestions and automated candidates are never published without manual review and explicit deployment approval.
Editorial review targets
- Safeguarding or inappropriate content: same day and highest priority.
- Confirmed outage or widespread broken source: one working day.
- Broken link or strong negative feedback: three working days.
- Suggested alternative resource: seven working days.
- Routine rotating sample: within the next weekly review cycle.
Publishing a correction
Confirmed changes are made in the authoritative source, regenerated into affected pages and checked by the normal validation gates. Production still requires the exact approved release candidate. Where a guide carries a visible checked or updated date, a factual correction refreshes that date.
Corrections log
Published corrections, newest first. Each row is a change that was actually made; the review ledger behind it is kept privately.
| Date | What was wrong | What changed |
|---|---|---|
| 29 Aug 2026 | Science Sorter had four content defects; Shape Sorter and Life Cycles each had wrong answers in their answer keys. | Corrected after review before the games release; answer keys re-authored. |
| 29 Aug 2026 | Five practice-game generators claimed the wrong year group, and one offered negative numbers to Year 1. | Year claims corrected; negative numbers removed from Year 1 sprints. |
| 29 Aug 2026 | Alien Word Sort (phonics) used a word bank in which 60 “alien” words were real words or sounded like them. | Game held back from publication until the bank is rebuilt; the games hub says so. |
| 29 Aug 2026 | Oak National Academy lesson links had moved. | Links updated to Oak’s current addresses. |
| 26 Aug 2026 | A Year 6 angles resource no longer matched its objective. | Retired from the page. |
| 23 Aug 2026 | Printable practice sheets carried errors: the metals reactivity order, evaporation confused with chromatography, expanded noun phrase examples, shape definitions that excluded valid shapes, the cause of wilting, and anomalous results in a table. | All six corrected in the version 3 sheets after a two-model review. |
| 17–24 Aug 2026 | A series of Year 2 and Year 3 maths resources matched the topic loosely but not the stated objective. | Removed from those pages rather than left as near-misses. |
| 19 Aug 2026 | The GCSE results-day guide said a grade 3 equated to the old grade D. Ofqual never said that. | Sentence corrected and the guide re-checked. |
