In her blog Janet Hughes, programme director for Verify looked to further define the impact this would have on users and departments and provide a measure of reassurance as Verify switches from beta to live.
“It won’t be a dramatic change in what GOV.UK Verify looks like, and it certainly doesn’t mean we’ve finished developing the service,” she said.
“It means we’ve met the standard required of digital by default services — rightly a tough standard to meet. Users can be assured that GOV.UK Verify is safe, secure, easily improved and meets user needs .”
“It means we’re ready for larger-scale adoption by departments - we’ve got a lot of services in our pipeline preparing to start using GOV.UK Verify over the next year (it will be a gradual, careful, ongoing process, not a ‘big bang’ switchover) and we’ll be posting more about that shortly.” Government Digital Services (GDS) will continue work to “iterate and improve” the service in response to feedback to make the service as simple and straightforward as possible for users.
