“Other services are being divested or subject to new partnership arrangements and are not beingdeveloped by the council…”

In or out? (crude but…)
• Accountability and Feedback explicitly linked to what is or isn’t included in our domain
• Ensure consistency– Search– Accessibility– Usability– Design
Global Header Global Search
Underpinned by a consistent approach to: • Content Standards and Quality (standards driven)• Reuse of content, avoid duplication (open by default)• Basic design principles (user driven and evidence based)• Iterative approach to development (agile and dynamic)
Accessibility
Feedback ?• influenced by divestment• bigger issue linked to commissioning contracts
A trusted access point
Reviewing our content – reducing duplication
If this content exists…. why do we have this content as well?
Changing our thinking…
• Standards Driven (design, content, experience)
• User Driven (evidence based)
• Commissioning (working with others)
• Develop through iteration (agile / responsive)
• Refreshed technology (future proofing)
