There is a requirement to record it in CAP670 COM01 and in COM03 of the same book, paragraph 6.4.4 states

The Air Traffic Service Provider shall ensure that the accuracy and integrity of the data used in the preparation of the ATIS message is maintained at a level appropriate to the operational requirements (256).

Guidance: It is likely that the interface arrangements between the Air Traffic Service
Provider and the Data Link Communications Service Provider will enable the Air
Traffic Service Provider to obtain evidence of compliance with this requirement for
the Data Link operations.
The ATIS message has to be previewed to ensure its accuracy by the ATCO/A before it is put to air.

So if the ATIS message is wrong then someone is doing their job correctly!
