GOV.UK is the digital home for the UK government. It’s vital for anyone wanting to live, work, trade or study in the UK. The site receives millions of visits each week from people needing to complete both life-changing and routine tasks.

Back in May, the GOV.UK programme updated its roadmap to reflect its priorities for the 2021/22 financial year. In this month’s episode of the Government Digital Service (GDS) Podcast, we speak to Rachel Tsang and Ross Ferguson from GOV.UK about how the roadmap objectives are helping to make GDS’s ambitious mission - of building a simple, joined-up and personalised experience of government for everyone - a reality.

Tune in to hear more on how we’re:

  • moving to a personalised and proactive service, with updates on our GOV.UK Account work
  • building a solid foundation for future innovation by ensuring the site is available, accessible and accurate
  • meeting our users where they are with a channel agnostic approach
