What Everyone Involved Should Work Towards
Whether someone is a Director, Campaign Leader, Member or Volunteer, our work should remain focused on the same core principles.
Independence, Boundaries & Accountability
Right First Time UK is an independent public-interest organisation and information platform focused on information, transparency, signposting, research, campaigning and public participation.
Right First Time UK does not replace solicitors, regulated financial advisers, medical professionals, social workers, emergency services, government departments, tribunals or courts.
Campaign Leaders, Members and Volunteers are not automatically authorised to enter agreements, make commitments or issue official statements on behalf of Right First Time UK.
Formal organisational responsibility remains with the appropriate leadership and governance structure.
We aim to distinguish clearly between evidence, allegation, opinion and verified fact when publishing public-interest information.
