Teams across government often spend time recreating components, patterns and content that already exist, because they do not always know about work being done in other departments.

The GOV Reuse Library aims to fix this problem by bringing together reusable elements for all departments to use. This includes:

  • design systems
  • service patterns
  • design standards
  • content style guides

Working as one public sector

Our aim is to reduce duplication, increase transparency, and promote cross-government collaboration. This is in line with the government's blueprint for a modern digital government The blueprint sets out plans to join up, act as one public sector, and strengthen our digital public infrastructure.

A team from the Ministry of Justice UK built the GOV Reuse Library in collaboration with Government Digital Service and other departments.
