How it is built, by role
The same roles apply across the whole collection. Nothing in this block is specific to this site; what the site says about itself is quoted word for word below it.
- 1
Edge network
Visitors reach a site through an edge layer: a content delivery network with a web application firewall in front of it.
- 2
Application host
The edge talks to an application host that serves the site and renders its pages.
- 3
Data
What the pages show comes from a relational database or, for a site pre-rendered at build time, from data files built into its release.
- 4
Scheduled measurement
The collection measures its sites on a schedule: content dates and site health nightly, page counts read from each site’s sitemap weekly. Every reading is kept with its date. A site too large to re-walk is not re-measured, and shows no trend.
- 5
Public status feed
A monitoring panel sends a signed report on uptime, deploys and backups once a day, and the Operations page publishes it. A figure on this page that comes from that report says so.
In the site's own words
Each passage is copied unaltered from a page the site publishes, with the address it was taken from and the date we took it. We add nothing between them.
“Public Skills Hub is a free, practical skills platform built for UK workers, educators, suppliers, and public-sector teams.”
“Plain-English guides to understanding artificial intelligence, writing effective prompts, managing AI risks at work, using tools like Microsoft Copilot and ChatGPT responsibly, and developing an AI policy for your organisation.”
“Accessible introductions to UK public procurement — how the process works, what thresholds apply, how to read a tender notice, and what buyers and suppliers need to know.”
“Ready-to-use document templates for workplace AI policies, procurement checklists, risk assessments, staff communication tools, and more.”
“Short knowledge-check quizzes, timed certification exams with downloadable certificates, and interactive tools such as an AI Readiness Checker, Procurement Route Explainer, and AI Policy Generator.”
“We write for the UK context — English, Scottish, Welsh, and Northern Irish law; GDPR and UK GDPR; Procurement Act 2023; NHS structures; Ofsted frameworks; and the specific guidance issued by UK government departments and regulators.”
“Our guides are written to be read by someone with no prior background in the subject — and reviewed by people who do have that background.”
“We include a last-updated date on every guide and template so you can judge its currency.”
“The core platform — every guide, template, quiz, exam, and tool — is permanently free.”
