Experiences of the cost of living crisis: participant information sheet

Thank you for considering taking part in this research about your experiences of the cost of living crisis. This information sheet will tell you what the research is about, what will happen if you decide to take part and how we will use the results of the research. Please read all the information before deciding whether you wish to take part in the study.

What is this research about?

The aim of the survey is to understand better how the cost of living crisis is impacting migrants in the UK, in particular those with limited access to public support or who are not eligible for most forms of cost of living support because of the No Recourse to Public Funds (NRPF) condition.

We want to show the government what impact its policies have on people, and to influence government policy so that everyone who needs support with the cost of living can get it.

Who is doing this research?

This survey is being conducted by Praxis, a charity that supports and provides advice to migrants and refugees in London.

How will my information be used and kept safe?

All responses to this survey will be stored and analysed by Praxis, on a secure computer system, in accordance with Praxis’ privacy policy.

The findings will be reported so that no individuals that took part in the research can be identified either via their name or anything else that could identify them. This means that your contribution will be completely anonymous.

What will happen if I decide to take part?

Once you have read and understood this information sheet, it is your decision whether or not you would like to take part in this research. This decision is completely voluntary.

Praxis is completely independent of the government, including the Home Office, and completing this survey will in no way impact on your immigration status, nor will it affect any services you already receive.

If you decide to take part, you will be asked to fill out a survey online.
