Bullets and numbered lists
Bullets and numbered lists can be added using the toolbar in the WYSIWYG editor.
Bulleted lists
This guidance follows the GOV.UK style guidance for bullet points.
When to use a bulleted list
Use bullet points to write lists of related content or to break down complicated sentences.
All bulleted lists should start with a lead-in sentence.
Example
If you are finding it difficult to look after yourself and manage everyday tasks, you can contact us to discuss your care and support needs. The discussion will identify:
- if you need care and support
- the level of care and support you need
- how these could be met
- your family and social support networks
Note: bullet points start with a lower case letter, as it is considered a run-on from the lead in line. There are no full stops at the end of bullets points.
Numbered lists
Use numbered lists to describe an ordered process, or to guide a user through a process. You do not need a lead-in line and each point starts with a capital letter. Steps end in a full stop because each should be a complete sentence.
Example
