SystemsThe system should be user friendly and be easy to use for all participants with good guidance notes and documentation. Navigation in the system should be easy to follow. SystemsTerminology should be consistent between that used in the system and policy documentation. SystemsHave a dedicated central helpdesk for applicant queries and technical support. SystemsThe systems and process should minimise the risk of disputes and the DECC should not radically change the rules and timelines.
