Working within constraints expectations

For designers in DWP.

Expectations at associate level

  • recognise constraints and where they have come from. for example, are they because of policy, technology, or time and resource?

Expectations at working level

  • seek out policy. understand it and its intent for a service
  • know when it’s right to challenge constraints and when it’s right to compromise

Expectations at senior level

  • look for opportunities to remove constraints and influence policy changes through design and research
