[2 days] Investigate history of global navigation

[jeddy3]

Designs have been created for what the global navigation looks like on the website and the Intranet.

Investigation into the rationale behind the solution is required as part of collating existing work in order to document universal rules

Acceptance criteria

• [x] Find out from relevant people about the rationale of the design decisions on the global header
• [x] Document the design decisions here for use on the next issue of adding the global header to the design system

It would be good to see the history of global nav as even I'm not aware of the the 'whys'. For FML I've put findings so far on WIKI. Could we do something similar for this? If you could add your findings to WIKI under design systems?

@jeddy3 @kelliewellingtons - I've noticed you mentioned three microsite navigations. I'm not sure if you're aware that there are more microsites with their own navs i.e.

• https://www.barnardos.org.uk/bigtoddle
• (https://www.barnardos.org.uk/challengeevents) - (go to one of the events/child pages to see the nav)
• (https://www.barnardos.org.uk/induction)
• (https://www.barnardos.org.uk/fosteringandadoption)
• (https://www.barnardos.org.uk/meadowsschool)
• (https://www.barnardos.org.uk/ets-work) - (go to one of the child pages)
• (https://www.barnardos.org.uk/hatday) And more...

Spike is complete.
