Pattern Decisions This Source Supports

Pattern Supported decision Required contract Claim note
Related links Choose related links when each destination has a clear, evidenced relationship to the current page and is useful after or alongside the current content. Activating a related link navigates to a different page, service, or resource unless the link text explicitly says it is a jump link. NHS Contents list guidance clarifies when grouped related-page navigation needs current-page state and pagination rather than a generic related-links block.
