Components

Components are reusable parts of the user interface that designers across DWP have made to support a variety of applications.

Individual components can be used in multiple different patterns and contexts. For example, the timeline component can be used at the side of the page or on a page of its own.

These components should be used in addition to those in the GOV.UK Design System. We will share the design and research of these components with the GOV.UK Design System so they can be used more widely.
