Identity & Authority — The Lens

Inspect the JSON-LD. Is there an Organization or Person schema, and does it carry sameAs links to real external profiles (LinkedIn, socials)? Missing schema or no identity declaration signals an anonymous entity.

Authority gaps are minimal. The schema_json includes a founded date of 1870, an official London headquarters address, and six sameAs links to verified social profiles. Expertise is demonstrated through highly technical sub-pages regarding the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 and the Right to Remain Toolkit, which go far beyond typical charity summaries.

The site demonstrates its performance through specific service delivery stats and availability markers (e.g., next-day delivery for wheelchairs if booked before 12:00 pm). Claims of being the ‘UK’s largest independent provider of services for refugees’ are supported by the breadth of specific sub-services listed, including family tracing and victims of terrorism support.

Identity & Authority is read from the structured data first: whether the site declares who it is in machine-readable schema, with verifiable identity links. Below is the schema captured per page, then the external proof links that support (or fail to support) that identity.
