TWO quick ways to submit a Fair Play consultation response this weekend

[DoctorW]

Thousands are trying to do the 1-click consultation response on Fair Play For Women today. A few people report they can't get onto the site so we have made this advice and alternative solution.

Try fairplayforwomen.com/email/ or eepurl.com/dI5_SH

SOLUTIONS

1. Switch WIFI on and off, or access site using 4G on your mobile
2. Or submit to the consultation here eepurl.com/dI5_SH

Just to check, if you subscribe to the mail chimp list, 2nd choice in the OP's post does that mean a response will be submitted on your behalf, listing the FairPlay 4 Women responses?

Excellent. Thanks Nic.

The tide is turning.

This is really important to be clear about. Can you answer @DoctorW ? I think you need a clear brief wording at the top of those links to make sure people know what will happen when they fill out the form.

I don’t want to derail but just wanted to check the template style reply you’ve made (which is great) will be as valid as individually created responses? Thanks

The alternative mail chimp method will send YOU an email with pre-filled answers. YOU then have forward this email to the government.

We have confirmed with Government Equalities Office that these pre-filled responses WILL BE ACCEPTED

Got it, and sent on the email. Glad that they will be accepted.

Nicola
I have sent to a PM.

thanks for this

used your excellent guidance booklet to complete my response last night

I am really worried that pre -written responses that are all the same will be dismissed as spam. Do government consultations have a policy on this?

@DoctorW Can't you post and pin this on your Facebook page and twitter too please?

qumquat

They won't be. Nic double checked.

Many other organisations are doing the same.

I agree, to me, it makes it less 'pure". But it's still vital to complete it.

if you're worried qumquat then you could tweak the responses?

shows you have read through them and understood them

That’s great but not currently clear for those who click on the link that just shows a form asking for your details. Can the wording be added there too to avoid confusion?

Bump

agree not clear - can someone pm doctorw on this? i cant cos injured dog n typing one handed

@DoctorW

I was worried as well. If they get a load of identical or very similar responses they might weed them out as duplicates or spam. I hope what you have confirmed is true.

I've done it already. My own views but I expect widely shared.

Delurking to make my 1st post. I have submitted the consultation.

Thank you

When I tried to access the site via Virgin Media I got blocked but can get to it on my phone via EE mobile data.

Very fishy- I have logged a call with Virgin Media to see what they come back with. If they have blocked it I will be cancelling my account.

In the meantime I found a link via VPN Proxy. Going to complete it before that gets taken down too!

I was also unable to access the site via our Virgin Media wifi connection. However, I have submitted via my phone instead. Thanks all for making this so easy - I wanted to respond to the consultation but probably wouldn't have found the time otherwise.

Another option to access the FPfW site:
If you are having problems submitting our 1-click consultation response please us this link instead. Will take you directly to our submission form. fairplayforwomen.co.uk

My internet provider is Virgin, no problems submitting it

Done by me, DH and DS1

Oops, posted without saying a massive thank you for setting this up!
