Component

Feedback

Invites user feedback on the current page.

This component is designed to sit at the bottom of pages on GOV.UK to allow users to submit feedback on that page.

This component uses JavaScript for expanding and collapsing and also for submitting form responses. Users without JavaScript will fall back to a normal form submission.
