This guide talks you through creating news and announcements for staff to see on the Staff Hub
News and Announcements are used by services to pass on information to large groups of staff (which can be filtered) all at the same time, saving the service time and effort. The information will be displayed on the Staff Hub home screen.
The information you add will remain in this section, even if an expiry date is added until you delete it.
