The GDS strategy has set the ambition to tackle the long tail of inaccessible forms on GOV.UK. Almost all forms on GOV.UK solely use PDFs or other document-based forms, and the number of these forms is growing by roughly 6% every year. These forms are usually inaccessible, hard to use and, on average, 8 minutes slower to process compared to online forms.
Finally, the content designers who manage the specialist guidance and publishing on GOV.UK are already dealing with high workloads - increasing the pace of the current form building process would potentially overwhelm these teams.

Teams across government have been developing form-building platforms, and the cross-government form-building community was founded to coordinate these teams and avoid duplicating work. This process resulted in the creation of browser-based editors like XGov Digital Form Builder and MOJ Forms, and code-based editors like the GOV.UK Design System Form Builder created by DfE Digital.
There are also some commercial form-builders on the market, but we aren't currently convinced that these are suitable: we want to provide a solution that's accessible for all users, and not prohibitively expensive for small operations teams.
We're conducting user research with participants from across government so that we can further investigate how document-based forms come to be published on GOV.UK and where the problems are for users.
Exciting piece of work and so necessary. I'd be interested to know if this work might explore creating a product/tool that allows operational/front-line/non-technical teams to build accessible and secure forms themselves? Operational folk often need to do this, at short notice and can't always get support of digital teams to do so. Rather than the form not getting delivered, what actually happens is people use the tools they have at their disposal (word docs, excel etc) which results in inaccessible products. Google Forms is good for this stuff but not always on the allow-list of departments. Similar potential for increasing delivery through 'no dev effort' forms and flows that BAs can develop too.
You might consider looking at our forms creation software - VF Creator for Word - this extends Microsoft Word, enabling new and existing Word documents to be turned into smart, accessible, HTML forms, that can be presented in a fixed layout matching the word document, or in an accessible, responsive webform layout that can reproduce appearance and behaviour of GDS forms.
Hi I'm the chair of a pan professional group of payroll software developers, accountancy rep bodies, agents and employers. We support millions of interactions with forms across .gov by taxpayers, pensioners and employers. If there is anything we could assist with in terms of input to the project we'd be delighted to invite you to a meeting. We're next together (by zoom) on 7th September
Best wishes

Historically, we've done this with Word docs, I'm sure there's a better way of doing this. One major obstacle is that the form asks for a signature, so for this to happen, there has to be a hard copy, or sticking something in the post, or leaving it for someone to pick up or returning the form to be signed later, or something
As you mentioned, there are certainly things you could test out with existing forms platforms. There are ways around requiring signatures, such as asking people to confirm they have read a declaration on the last page of the form. You may need to seek advice from a lawyer about this. If the registration process requires a signature, there are also forms platforms that can do online signatures.
For referrals that are not urgent, please submit an online form, which will be read on the working day of receipt. Please also consider whether support from the Family Service would be more appropriate. This Concerns regarding children guidance [PDF] will help you to refer to the right place and get the right support for the child and their family.
Please note, in the last 30 minutes of these opening hours each day, the MASH can only address urgent safeguarding referrals that require a Social Worker to visit the child or adult that evening. If the referral is not urgent, you will be asked to call back the next working day or complete an online form which will be read the next working day. This is because of the hand-over to the Emergency Duty Team.
The MASH receives safeguarding referrals from professionals such as teachers and doctors as well as members of the public and family members. For those referrals that meet the threshold for Social Care involvement, representatives from the different agencies in the MASH and outside collate information from their respective sources to build up a holistic picture of the circumstances of the case and the associated risks to the child or adult. As a result, better decisions can be made about what action to take and support can be targeted on the most urgent cases.
Feedback is also given to professionals making referrals. Better co-ordination between agencies leads to an improved service for children and families.
If your child has a formal offset agreed and is therefore not born between 1 September 2019 and 31 August 2020, please contact the Admissions Team for a paper application form. You will be unable to apply through the online system.
All Year 2 children living in North East Lincolnshire and attending Queen Mary Avenue Infants, Scartho Infants, Signhills Infants or an infant school in a neighbouring county will receive information on how to apply in November 2023.

Carter reforms - projected costs and savings change
The Regulatory Impact Assessment of the Carter reforms published alongside the 2007 Budget also includes some statistical sleights of hand. Where the partial RIA issued at the time of the 2006 budget projected spending on HMRC online improvements to be 840 million up to 2014/15, the latest edition projects a total of 670 million will be invested "up to 2012" (500 million already invested, plus 170 million over the next five years).
The savings side of the formula has also altered. The figures for the government's expected savings have risen slightly from 59 million a year by 2014/15 in last year's RIA, to a projected annual saving of 64 million by 2012/13 in this year's assessment.
The service is intended to provide a digital replacement for all appropriate HMRC print and post forms, a key part of the department's Making Tax Digital programme. In total HMRC wants to transform 600 forms for DFS.

Background: Atypical bovine spongiform encephalopathies (BSEs), classified as H-type and L-type BSE based on the Western immunoblot profiles, are naturally occurring diseases in cattle, which are phenotypically different to classical BSE. Transmission studies in cattle using the intracerebral route resulted in disease where the phenotypes were maintained irrespective of BSE type but clinically affected cattle with a shorter survival time displayed a nervous form whereas cattle with a longer survival time displayed a dull form. A second transmission study is reported here where four cattle were intracerebrally inoculated with brain tissue from experimentally infected cattle presenting with either the nervous or dull form of H- or L-type BSE to determine whether the phenotype is maintained.
Conclusions: Second passage of H-type and L-type BSE in cattle produced a TSE where the majority of cattle displayed the dull form regardless of clinical disease form of the donor cattle. The pathological and molecular phenotypes of H- and L-type BSE were maintained.
