What happens next

When you sign up, you’re agreeing to be contacted for research. 

We’ll send you regular surveys to learn more about you and how you use GOV.UK. We may use this information to invite you to take part in further research.

You might be asked to:

  • try out a new online service
  • answer more questions by email
  • talk to our researchers about how you’ve interacted with government in the past
  • visit a government building near you
  • let our researchers meet you at home or work

You can opt out at any time. Details of how to do this will be included in every communication we send to you.

When you get an invitation

When you get an invitation to take part in research, we’ll explain the purpose of the research and what you should do if you want to get involved.

We may offer an incentive, like a voucher, for some research. We’ll let you know if there’s an incentive when we send you an invitation.

If you choose to get involved, we’ll always gain informed consent from you before you take part. You’ll be able to change your mind at any time without giving a reason.
