The Grown-Up School Disclaimer Policy
Affiliate and Advertising Disclosure
We always aim to provide unbiased editorial created by our writers. However, we also need to pay our teams and website costs so we make money in a number of ways. We sometimes use affiliate links to products and services on retailer sites for which we can receive compensation if you click on those links or make purchases through them.
From time to time we also publish advertorials (paid-for editorial content) and sponsored content on the site. When this is the case the content is clearly marked as sponsored or promoted, so you’ll always know which content is editorial and which is not. We have a full guide to funding on The Grown-Up School here.
