If something on the register is wrong, tell us. This page explains how, what we do, and how quickly.

1. How to edit an entry

1. To edit an entry, subscribe, open the incident, press Suggest an edit and add your source. It goes straight to the editorial team.
2. A company or organisation named in a record does not need to subscribe to check it. Email editor@energyincidentregister.com from an address at that organisation with the record reference, and we send the full record free, so you can ask for a correction or add your statement.
3. For escalations, email editor@energyincidentregister.com with your evidence.
4. Our editorial team looks at every suggestion alongside the sources.

With an escalation, give the record reference (for example EIR-0012) or the page address, what is wrong, what you believe is correct with your source, and whether you are connected to the incident. Being connected does not decide the outcome.

2. What happens next

1. The editorial team checks the suggestion against the sources we hold and any you provide.
2. Suggested edits are usually decided within 2 working days. Escalations are acknowledged within 2 working days and decided within 10, or we tell you why we need longer.
3. You hear by email either way. Nothing changes on the register until the editorial team accepts it.
4. If the record is wrong, we correct it and add the correction to the log below.
5. If we do not agree the record is wrong, we tell you why and what evidence would change our view. You can ask for it to be looked at again with any new evidence, and it will be.

3. Requests to remove an entry

The register exists so the industry can learn. We remove entries only where they are shown to be false, where they breach the law, or where publication would cause a clear risk to safety or to an individual. Being an operator, owner or supplier named in a verified public record is not by itself a reason for removal. Anonymised entries do not identify anyone and are not removed on request from a party who believes they can identify themselves in one, though we will review the anonymisation.

4. Right of reply

A company or organisation named in a record may send a statement of up to 150 words. We attach any reasonable statement to the record, clearly marked as theirs, unless it is unlawful, names an individual or is about something other than the record. Where a named company disputes a cause, its position is shown beside the cause, not below it.

A statement does not change the record. The record follows the sources, and an official or court finding stays as it is unless new evidence shows it is wrong. Only the editorial team changes a record, and only on evidence.
