Beta on ÒÁÈËÖ±²¥

The ‘beta’ label means you’re looking at the first version of a new service or web page.

ÒÁÈËÖ±²¥ regularly launches new or redesigned digital services. During the beta phase services are continually tested and improved.

The beta label is displayed on a new service to show it’s being tested - it may not work for everyone.

Redesigned services should be easier to use than the services they replace.

Sometimes a beta service will be available at the same time as an older, existing service - you can choose which one to use.

Successful beta services eventually become ‘live’ and replace any older services that perform the same task.

Beta content on ÒÁÈËÖ±²¥ follows the same rules for accessibility, cookies and privacy as existing content.
