Policy & Impact
Find out how Full Fact is working with those in power to ensure people have access to reliable, evidence-based information.
Full Fact’s policy work focuses on strengthening the UK’s information environment so everyone can make decisions based on accurate, reliable facts. Our key priorities:
Online Safety Act
We have engaged and continue to engage with the implementation of the Online Safety Act to push for stronger protections against harmful and misleading content online, holding platforms and regulators to account as the law takes effect. Our work includes calling for effective media literacy duties, better risk assessments on misinformation, and ongoing review of the Act’s ability to protect people and democratic debate.
Elections Bill
We’re calling for the Elections Bill to take the opportunity to safeguard UK democracy by addressing the growing harms of misinformation and disinformation, strengthening transparency in political advertising, boosting the powers of regulators, and improving accountability in electoral information processes. Our work is focused on ensuring the Bill includes measures that protect voters.
Media Literacy
We champion stronger media literacy because we believe critical thinking is the first line of defence against misinformation, starting with teaching pupils to recognise misleading content early and supporting educators with the tools and confidence to challenge false claims. Our policy work calls on government and regulators to embed media literacy across the curriculum and beyond - equipping people of all ages with the skills to navigate today’s complex information environment.
