notice styles   

Use notices sparingly with ideally no more than 3 on a page.  

Red: For emergency or very important updates or legal requirements.  

Blue: For information you want to stand out (draw attention to).

Green: We do not often use green but it can be helpful when something is reopening. For example, a sort it centre or window to apply for a grant scheme.

Black: Only for condolence or in mourning content.

numbers  

Write all numbers in figures, apart from the number one. The only exception to this rule is where the number appears at the start of a sentence. For numbers to show ordering check ordinal numbers.
