Guidance on how we format the PHE homepage , and develop news stories and press releasesannouncements.

The PHE Homepage

The PHE homepage presents a selection of the latest news and updates to users, in a simple to navigate format.

...

A featured news story is located at the top of the homepage, we add this to the page manually.

News stories and press releases Announcements are located below the featured news story, and show up automatically.

...

Documents are located at the bottom of the page and are ordered by type.

...

Announcements that we publish

If you have content you would like to publish on GOV.UK, it will usually take the format of a news story or a press release.

It is also possible to publish content as a blog, but we need to be careful not to duplicate content on GOV.UK.

News stories

News stories should provide users with information they can act on, that they would expect to get directly from PHE England.

...

Press releases

A press release should be an online version of a press communication sent out to the media.

...

Press releases are not updated once they have been uploaded to the system.

...

...

Collections

Use a document collection for grouping related documents on a single page:

How to cover specific types of stories

Stories about multiple government departments

...

• guidance content should be developed as 'permanent' guidance, that sits on the GOV.UK or NHS Choices homepage
• you should not use the news story format for this type of content
• news stories should be self-contained content, which means they can be deleted from the website without it affecting anything else

Videos and podcasts

Videos and podcasts require permission from the Communications team.

When the Comms team has been briefed, they will liaise with the social media team, the relevant press officer and the in-house multimedia team.
