In the Home Office’s Digital, Data and Technology (DDaT) department, we do research with people to learn how we can make our digital services better.
If you would like us to invite you to research, please let us know by completing this survey. We will then add your name to our list of research volunteers. We call this list a research panel.
Being on the panel does not mean you are expected to take part in research. It only means that you are happy for us to invite you to participate in research that may be relevant to you.
What would joining the panel involve?
- Completing our survey to tell us more about you. We use this information to help us identify which research is most relevant to you. The survey should take around 5 to 10 minutes to complete.
- Receiving invitations to take part in research we are conducting. Any time we invite you to research we will send you a participant information sheet so that you can decide whether you would like to take part.
If I joined the panel, what sort of research could I be invited to?
We do lots of different types of research, but most involve trying new services or web pages and/or talking to us about your experiences of using our services. Our research sessions usually last around 1 hour.
What data will we collect?
Some of the things we will ask you about in the survey:
- name and contact details
- access needs and disabilities
We do not share your information with anyone outside the Home Office Digital Data and Technology team.
Your right to withdraw your data
Your participation in the panel is voluntary and you can withdraw at any time by emailing us at: researchoperations@digital.homeoffice.gov.uk.
