Standards

Understand the standards you must follow when designing, building and running digital services in the Department for Education

Digital services must meet clear, consistent standards. These standards help you design and run services that are secure, accessible, user-centred and aligned to government policy.

This collection brings together the core standards you are expected to apply when delivering services and products.

Standards are not optional. They form part of assurance, governance and service assessments, and should shape your work from the explore phase through to live and retirement.
