Every non-service page has a feedback form, services need to provide feedback mechanisms[1] and the blogs have a commenting system.

Basically, none of these publish immediately. Feedback goes into Zendesk typically, and everything on the blogs are premoderated. Spam happens but because it doesn’t immediately show up on a gov.uk property it’s minimal enough to deal with manually. Basically, better that than denying a section of the population the right to comment.

Ah thanks for responding. The design choices there make sense for a government website where inclusivity is important.
