A guide to our online application form

Applications are online – you can fill out the form on a desktop, mobile or any other device.

If you find that the form doesn't work, try using a different browser. We recommend Chrome, Edge, Firefox, and Safari.

We ask questions about you including your address, school address, qualifications and household income.

We ask for a passport-style photo of you. This can be a selfie or any other photo that clearly shows you from the shoulders up in portrait orientation up to 2MB in size and should be in JPG or PNG format. This is for our records only.

The information we collect is confidential. Some of it is shared with our panel, but we mark this clearly on the form.

The application will automatically save as you progress, if you want to take a break or come back to the form at a later date, you can simply close the browser and log back in later

To ensure you don't accidentally delete your own responses, avoid going back and changing answers.

Once you have pressed 'Submit' on the application form you can no longer edit, so please make sure you have filled out everything correctly.

You will receive a confirmation email to say your form has been submitted.
