Writing radio cards

Content guidelines

Copy for individual inputs in radio cards are in bold for consistency, because they sit in a hierarchy below the group labels.

Only ask for information that is definitely needed, don’t mark fields as ‘required’, instead use ‘optional’.

Error

Error messages should appear above the input, and below the label and help text. These should be written in a concise, specific, way using plain language and without pleasantries.
