When creating a bulleted list, you must:

make bullets short wherever possible– not more than a few words long
start bullets with a lower-case letter and end without a full-stop
start bullets with the same part of speech (like a noun or verb)
have an introduction sentence which finishes with a colon

Do not:

put ‘and’ or ‘or’ at the end of a bullet
start all bullets with the same word – it’s hard to read
use numbered (or Roman numeral) lists
