Sarah Ellison — Paralegal Reviewer

Everything editorial: the factual claims in each guide against GOV.UK guidance and legislation.gov.uk; every fee against the official schedule at the stated date; the deed poll and statutory declaration wording against the settled model wording and the Statutory Declarations Act 1835; and comparisons against competitors' published prices. Nothing publishes without her check.

It is the date Sarah last genuinely re-checked that page against its sources — not a decorative stamp. Re-reviews are scheduled quarterly for flagship guides and at least annually for everything else, and the date only moves when the page is actually re-examined. The same date feeds the structured data and sitemap, so they can never disagree with what you see.

Reader error reports go to Sarah first. If a report is confirmed she approves the fix and records it on the public corrections log; if it is not confirmed, she replies explaining why the page stands. The triggers and process are set out in the editorial policy.

Sarah is a paralegal working in England and Wales with day-to-day experience of deed poll and statutory declaration execution requirements, including witnessing rules and the acceptance practices of HM Passport Office, the DVLA and high-street banks. She is not a solicitor, and the site does not provide legal advice — her review ensures accuracy of content, not advice for individual circumstances.
