Framework policies

Web sites The framework policy focuses largely on electronic publishing and the creation of a sound organisational basis within departments for managing their online presence, on good content and on technical standards that provide for consistency and the widest possible access to public sector sites.

Call centres The call centre guidelines set out an approach to implementing call centres in the public sector, ensuring they are viewed as part of an overall business change process. The guidelines provide a set of standards for ensuring public sector call centres are accessible, efficient and helpful and provided a consistent and accurate interface to government services and information.

Smart cards The smart card framework policy provides a set of standards and guidelines to facilitate interoperability. It is also provides advice on acquisition issues for public authorities; to ensure that accessibility is an integral part of any card scheme; and to provide guidance on data protection issues.

Authentication Effective government online and call centre services will require a widely accepted means for citizens and businesses to authenticate themselves for the purposes of those transactions. The authentication framework policy and guidelines establish a common approach to authentication for government departments, agencies and the wider public sector.

Digital TV Although digital TV is still very new and will continue to develop over the next few years, this early guidance is considered essential to ensure that public sector organisations are suitably informed about the strategic opportunities and practical implications of deploying digital TV based services.

Security Information Age Government services, from simple information-giving websites to large, complex transactional services, are reliant upon the application of appropriate IT security measures. The security policy represents a call for a general alignment with best e-commerce practice. This applies across the public sector, and extends to all service delivery channels and all bodies which deliver public services.

Privacy This annex sets out a work programme to deliver a privacy and data sharing policy for Information Age Government.

Electronic records management The framework policy on electronic records management provides guidelines to support greater commonality and inter-departmental working in electronic document and records management, and in the sharing and exchange of electronic records across the GSI.

Metadata This annex sets out a work programme to deliver a metadata policy for Information Age Government.

Interoperability The interoperability framework policy sets out the policy and standards for achieving interoperability across all government departments and the wider public sector.
