Overview
Casebook is a case management system for centrally storing Citizens Advice client data. Advisers use Casebook to arrange appointments and store client data. The policy team uses it to pull data for reports required for advocacy Role required designing and prototyping complex user journeys, form design, working with GDPR and knowledge of front and back-end technologies. Nature of the system meant working closely with advisers and learning how local offices work. Also had wider strategic involvement such as influencing the product roadmap and writing business proposals.Projects
Designed the new SMS appointment reminder feature (shown to reduce no shows by 3%), streamlined the calendars and booking system, redesigned the client registration form; which led to a successful proposal for a focused project to address issues around how we collect consent and special category data.
Played a key role in embedding accessibility within the team. Introduced new a11y focused ways of working such as assistive tech labs, a11y acceptance criteria and a11y testing. This has resulted in prioritising accessibility in the roadmap, a suite of design changes and new components that meet WCAG compliance.
