+### Fixing Node 16+ errors
+If you've previously installed `govuk-design-system` locally using Node v14 or earlier, you may see `node-sass`-related errors when updating to Node v16.
+
+To get rid of these errors, delete the `node_modules` folder, then run:
+
+```
+nvm use
+npm uninstall node-sass -g && npm cache clean -force && npm install node-sass
+npm install
+```
