The stories of Star Hobson and Arthur Labinjo-Hughes have been harrowing to read. In an effort to make a difference, we are offering safeguarding boards a free implementation of a safeguarding website using Council Platform.

We introduce a new Block that automatically populates a page with links and text to its child pages. This is perfect for when creating a Service or Department page that needs to display all the webpages in its section. As with all our Blocks, it is inspired by the GOV.UK Design System so as to be accessibility compliant.

This week's Feature Focus video shows you how to create a Site Alert. Site Alerts are banner messages designed to communicate important information to any users who visit the site. There are several types of alert to choose from and you can specify if they appear at the top of every page or for a specified group of pages.

This short video shows you how to set pages to be automatically published or unpublished at a specific time.

In this week's Feature Focus video, we show you how to quickly create interactive online maps by assigning pages with street addresses that automatically populate the map with locations and a links to those pages.

We show you how to add a new page to the site's A-Z index. This index page helps users find the content they're looking for.

In this post we show you how to quickly create Events and set their frequency and date. Events are automatically displayed on a calendar page to allow users to easily track what's coming up in your borough.

By assigning webpages to a 'Book', the Platform will automatically group and organise them into a hierarchical layout. This creates browsable subsections - perfect for Council Service or Department sections of a site.
