When you submit a brief to the content team, it is important that we are provided with a complete brief that covers all the important information. This ensures that we can progress your brief efficiently.

Before you submit a new brief, please run through the checklist below and ensure that your brief has covered all of the relevant points.

•  When does the content need to be published
•  Where should the content be published when it has been signed off
•  In your own words, what do we need to know about this new content? (Please explain in 140 characters maximum)
