Generally the error and hint on a checkbox should get linked with aria-describedby to something. Usually this is the fieldset. However, checkboxes don't have to have a fieldset and legend - you might omit them if you had just a single checkbox.

In such a case, we should link the checkbox error and hint to each checkbox item instead. This is what GOV.UK Frontend does, but the NHS component doesn't.
