We’re looking for parents in the North, Midlands or Yorkshire to take part in online focus groups next week

[JustineBMumsnet]

The past 10 months have brought turmoil and change both nationally and to many individuals. To ensure that mums’ voices are being heard, Mumsnet has partnered with independent research agency BritainThinks to conduct research to understand how mums are feeling and to understand their hopes and worries for themselves and their families.

We’re looking for Mumsnet users with at least one child in the North, Midlands or South East to take part in a video based online focus group for BritainThinks between Tuesday 2nd - Thursday 4th February, running in the evening.

We are interested to hear your views and opinions and so you would not need to prepare anything in advance of the session. You would be paid £40 as a thank you for your time, which would be paid via bank transfer after the session.

If you’re interested in taking part, please click here to sign up.

Please note we're looking for specific mixes of demographics to take part in each group - if you've signed up already and haven't been contacted, this will be why.

Some more information on the project from BritainThinks can be found here, and you can find BritainThinks’ privacy policy here.

Thanks!

Hmm. Are you sure? I was fairly sure that BritainThinks were working alongside/along with Garry's agency, Beta.

As this post would suggest too:

I saw this on a huge billboard outside the station today. I couldn't believe my eyes. There was a website address on it too

link to the same website you have linked to.

Well Deborah Mattison founded BritainThinks in June 2010. Maybe she bought the domain name. Happy to check.

As is usual opinions of the English count more than the rest of us.

They should change thrir company nsmy from Britain thinks to England thinks..

Possibly @JustineMumsnet

Beta suggested a campaign that would ‘get people talking’. They devised a series of ‘provocative’ statements to be pasted in large print on billboard sites. In smaller print consumers were encouraged to log on to to a website ‘BritainThinks’, set up by Beta for the purpose of counting numbers of people who see an ad and follow it up online. The OAA agreed this campaign strategy.

Hi Biwi, Deborah Mattison indeed just confirmed that they bought the domain name from Beta ten years ago. So, different outfit, as suspected.

That's a relief then!

Sounds good

The second thing I've wanted to participate in on here in the last few months that turned out to be exclusively for English users.

Have they contacted people about this yet? It's pretty soon now.

Mumsnet Insight have now sent me 3 emails asking more people to sign up, but not anything about actually doing it.
How about use the people that actually signed up first?

I didn't hear anything

Wondering what we put that made us the wrong sort of people to get chosen, even though they're literally begging for more (other) people.
They were never going to get a broad mix of ages, locations and child ages:
-in the middle of a Lockdown
-at short notice
-while schools are closed

@JustineBMumsnet just work with what you have.

I didnt hear anything either...except for repeat emails suggesting I apply after I already had!
