GDS started looking at how to support services implementing webchat last year. Since then we’ve completed an alpha and published 8 posts on 4 GDS blogs about our findings, insight and recommendations. Here’s a useful roundup of all the webchat blog posts.
Chris Heathcote talks about the web chat alpha, its scope and goals.
We ran a short discovery looking at how government uses web chat to help support users. We wanted to know if there are common web chat needs across government and what opportunities there might be to meet these needs in a more consistent way. Chris Heathcote explains.
We’re seeing an increasing number of government services offering, or looking to offer, web (or live) chat as an alternative contact channel for their users.
