good thread here for everyone who winces at the word 'portal' but struggles to say why it's bad

[Jamie Arnold @itsallgonewrong]

Service design friends. I'm conversing with a team wishing to call their shiny new service a 'portal' or a 'hub' 😱 How do I counter this? Any advice or links to blog posts? It's making me itch 🙏

[Tim Murray @oh_hi_TM]

we will publish something soon that isn't tables of funding allocations...

[Tim Murray @oh_hi_TM]

This is such a fun course, and we have a lovely cohort this time.

I love running it with @ignaciaorellana

[Craig Abbott @abbott567]

Yesterday we got #WCAG 2.2 and 9 new criteria.

Under the Public Sector Bodies #Accessibility Regulations, you need to work to the latest version to be compliant, so I've written a blog post on what #WCAG22 might mean for you!

Good news! We're going to open up access to @GOVUK Forms for even more government users soon, a further step in making document-based forms a thing of the past.
