BHA Website Updates & Engagement Opportunity

  • What’s happening with the BHA website? The team is working on a big round of updates to:
  • Navigation — clear menus, headings, and actions so stuff’s easier to find
  • Readability — plain language so it’s easier to read
  • Accuracy — up-to-date info, dates, and docs so it’s trustworthy
  • Accessibility — fixing inaccessible stuff so everyone can use it
  • Have a say! Join our website feedback activity and help us improve the design for service providers like you. No need to schedule a live session—participate at your own pace (15-30 mins). It’s like a scavenger hunt, where you'll help us test how easy it is to find web pages with new labels. Your input will make the BHA website easier to navigate.
