It would be better if there was a more meaningful photo used for the drugs, alcohol and addiction thumbnail. | We used a more meaningful photo. |
The website is difficult to navigate because there are too many topics in some sections. | We revised the thumbnails on the home page to help split up topics and changed page layouts, so the user can expand to find out more information. |
You asked for information on Money matters. | We have updated the website to include information on Money Matters, including Budgeting, money problems and debt, tax and pensions, banking and credit |
