Internal service header

A header for internal services, with no GOV.UK branding or crest

The internal service header shows users what service or system they are using. It can include navigation if needed. It is included in DWP Frontend.

When to use this component

Use this header for internal DWP services such as admin dashboards and agent-facing systems.

When to consider something else

Public-facing government services on [name].service.gov.uk domains should use the GOV.UK Design System Header component instead. If you need secondary navigation use the GOV.UK Service navigation component.

Public-facing government services that are not part of GOV.UK should use the Generic header component from the GOV.UK Design System.

Design goals and metrics

The goals for this component are:

  • ease of use for service users
  • compliance with GOV.UK branding rules (no use of GOV.UK crest or the GDS Transport typeface)
  • support for the elements needed by internal services (for example navigation)
