This template has been designed to enable staff to create on
brand infographics. All text fields and graphics have been
populated in the following slides to show a working example,
therefore please amend the title, introduction statement, stats
and supporting text to suit.
Please keep the layout, graphics and colours as they are –
some of this is important to retain adequate accessibility.
Choose your preferred slide: slides 2-7 provide options for a
set of 8 stats, whereas slides 8-13 are for a set of 6 stats.
Slides 14 to 19 contain various on brand icons that you can
copy and paste on to the slide you are editing.
