Figure out how to explain acronyms on the website #4268

Open owenatgov opened 2 weeks ago

owenatgov commented 2 weeks ago

What

Review all acronyms on the website and decide on policies for explaining these acronyms based on our website's audience and their likely pre-existing knowledge of common technical and departmental acronyms.

Work related to this can be found in the accessible content audit worksheet (design system team access only).

Why

This is to address https://github.com/alphagov/govuk-design-system/issues/4010, an issue raised in the 2024 DAC audit of the GOV.UK Design System website. This issue will enable us to either resolve or explicitly decide not to solve that issue raised by DAC.

This issue is also split off from https://github.com/alphagov/govuk-design-system/issues/4193 in order to make the wider content audit work easier to manage.
