Description

## Context

Based on explorations in #4808

## Potential opportunities

To enable the design of better forms for end users filling them out we might consider creating guidance or pointing to existing guidance / best practice around:

- Only asking what is necessary (question protocol)
- Asking one thing per page (see GDS standard)
- Writing good questions (deep dive into specific patterns if you must ask for X)
- Optimizing labels and hint text (what is most clear and useful)
- Labelling required fields (how to decide)
- Improving data validation
- Customizing error messages
