Create and update 'organisation' on GOV.WALES

Contact the Corporate Digital Team to discuss using this type.

Use for:

• bodies listed on the Welsh public bodies register

Use to:

• give an overview of the organisation's work, responsibilities and priorities

Content is both from and about the organisation, for example

• minutes and reports published by the organisation
• the organisation's remit letter published by Welsh Government

This means the summary text on the organisation's home page is written to be about them and not from them, for example:

• correct: the Wales Tree Health Steering Group advises on pests and diseases affecting trees
• incorrect: we provide advice on pests and diseases affecting trees

When publications are correctly tagged to an external organisation, they will appear on the organisation homepage.
