Emails and signatures

Writing an email

When writing an email, use the below styling in Microsoft Outlook:

• Typeface: Arial / Arial bold, 12pt.
• Colour: Black.
• Alignment: Left aligned.
• Use bold for headings and to call out content types.
• Use bullet points to help break down information.

Hyperlinks

When including hyperlinks in your emails, make it clear where the link is directing the reader. This will help screen readers to understand what the content of the link is, without needing to read out the full URL.

Example: You can source images from our Image Library.

Email signatures

Linking to your Teams

To include a hyperlink to your Teams chat, please add the below link to the word 'Teams' of the email signature and replace 'youremailaddress' with your email address.

https://teams.microsoft.com/l/chat/0/0?users=youremailaddress

Example: https://teams.microsoft.com/l/chat/0/0?users=a.smiths@arts.ac.uk

Pronouns

By including pronouns on our email signatures, we avoid creating situations where people make assumptions about gender identity. This is just one of the many ways to create inclusive spaces for everyone. Read more guidance on pronouns.
