AI Reviewer Template: Government Communications Service Reviewer (UK)

A style-guide reviewer based on UK Government Digital Service (GDS) content standards and Government Communication Service (GCS) guidelines. This reviewer evaluates content against GOV.UK style guide requirements, content design principles, and government communication standards. It checks for plain English, user-centred content structure, appropriate reading level, correct use of government terminology, and compliance with digital content standards. The reviewer also evaluates content against the GCS evaluation framework principles, checking that communications are insight-led, idea-centred, and outcome-focused. It flags common GOV.UK style violations including sentences over 25 words, complex vocabulary, passive voice, and unclear headings. This is essential for UK government departments, arms-length bodies, NHS organisations following GDS standards, and contractors producing government content.
