How to use data sources: Full Fact

Full Facts is UK’s independent fact checking charity.

As a novel start-up in a poorly-researched space, we needed to validate the problems Whirli is solving. Sapio Research were fantastic partners from start to finish – creative in brainstorming angles, careful in designing the questions, and rigorous in analysing the results. The research brought a wealth of insights, backed by hard figures, for our business decision making and for us to talk about publicly in the press.

What is it?

Full Fact describes itself as UK’s independent fact checking charity. They define themselves as:

  • Independent – they are a registered charity and do not receive any government funding
  • Impartial – they remain neutral in debates and don’t support any political party or campaign
  • Effective – they push for corrections where necessary, and work with the government departments and research institutions to improve the quality and communication of information at source. As well as providing a fact checking toolkit to give people the tools they need to make up their own minds.

Full Fact provides information on a wide range of topics: Economy, Europe, Health, Crime, Education, Immigration and Law.

Who can use it?

Everyone. Anyone interested in getting information that is valid and reliable can use Full Fact and get valid research for free without needing any membership or account.
