How we developed the standard

Over 60 councils have input into the Standard so far

Following visits to the Government Digital Service (GDS) to see a Digital by Default Service Assessment we ran a workshop with GDS which representatives from 31 councils attended, a public consultation to which many more responded to, and our Standard Steering Group met on 6 April 2016 to agree the current version.

The Standard Steering Group currently consists of:

• Amanda Wilde – East Riding of Yorkshire Council
• Andrew Whittaker – North Yorkshire County Council
• Ben Cheetham – Guildford Borough Council
• Dale Shepherd – Shropshire Council
• Joshua Mouldey – London Borough of Camden
• Julia McGinley – Coventry City Council
• Luke Smith – Bristol City Council
• Mathew Cain – Buckinghamshire County Council
• Neil Lawrence – Oxford City Council
• Phil Rumens – West Berkshire Council
• Steve Langrick – Kirkless Council
