If you work for a government organisation or agency, you must follow the guidance in theGOV.UKproposition when you publish content or services. The proposition tells you what can go onGOV.UKand what cannot.
Added further information around GOV.UK's proposition, including extending into app, notifications, and social media.
Out of date content has been removed from the Proposition and the guide rewritten in line with GOV.UK style to make it clearer to users what they need to do when working on GOV.UK content.Content explaining non-transactional services added to 1. Use a government service.Judiciary content corrected in section What does not go on GOV.UK. The line (courts, tribunals and judges) has been removed because GOV.UK does have courts, tribunals and judges information but not judiciary information. A link and content have been added for Publishing content somewhere other than on GOV.UK (getting an exemption) and the previous exemptions related content has been removed from the Proposition. Users should now check gov.uk/guidance/content-design/planning-content#getting-an-exemption
Removed duplicative sentence in 8. Campaigns activity and raising awareness
Changes made to better define what does and does not go on GOV.UK, and to incorporate guidance on how to get an exemption and transition content to GOV.UK.
